Bought the Royal Purple oil change deal @ Pepboys, 1st time using RP.
2005 Taurus 3.0 U
RP filter.. #20-400
5W-20 RP oil.
Engine has 63,000 miles.
Previous oil was Castrol Edge w/t, gold bottle, 5w30.
I have switched back & forth from 20W & 30w, and have experienced no difference for the most part.

Last week my Subie got a headgasket repair, upon completion, the oil was changed.

Saturday I put in 95 Altima Pennzoil Conventional 10w40. However, after about 80 miles on it, Sunday morning, I noticed the Pennzoil conventional was leaking bad. I thought I could go back to a non-high mileage being a 10w40.
Nope.
Therefore, I swapped it again today. Valvoline NextGen MAXLife 10w40. We shall see how it holds up (fingers crossed). If it does well, I will try to slowly step down grades maybe.
Both times I used Bosch 3400 Oil Filter.
I can't believe that a high mileage oil makes THAT much difference that after just a few miles it starts leaking again on a non-high mileage.
The previous oil was Chevron Supreme High Mileage.
Nope.

Did two today:
1) 1996 Camaro (3800 V6): Changed out 10w30 Mobil Super 5000 with Microgard filter with same oil & Purolator Classic filter. Only put 400 miles on this OCI as it was put in right after a LIM/UIM gasket change.
2) 1993 Saturn SL2: Changed out 5w30 Supertech with PureOne filter with 5w30 Mobil Super 5000 & PureOne filter. No idea on the mileage (+/- 2,000 miles) and one year. This Saturn leaks/burns so much oil that a quart of fresh oil is dumped in every few months.

My 2011 Toyota 4Runner, at 20,000 miles at standard OCI of 10k miles. Used 6 qts of Mobil 1 0W20, and a new Toyota filter.
Made a discovery: The yokel who changed the oil last used the oil filter housing drain plug to screw down the oil filter housing. Taking that off without being able to drain it == one big giant mess. That'll be an interesting discussion with the stealership's service manager.
