1981 Toyota Corolla - 148,000km

Out: Petro Canada Bulk 10w30 - 10,000km on OCI - Napa Proselect 1394
Oil change place had used non-specced filter, much smaller than standard, but the numbers looked OK so I imagine it was safe.
Had to break out the 1/2 inch drive socket set to get the drain plug out and the filter required hard pulling with a chain type filter wrench.


In: Valvoline 10w30 Conventional - Napa Proselect 1068
Even put a new drain plug gasket for good measure.

In: 6.7qts of BMW 5w-30 Full synthetic and another OEM Mann filter.
 
Yesterday
1998 MS s500 @56,380 miles
Out: Unknown oil/ Filtron(Not sure) Filter, approximately 4200 miles on oil and unknown time period. Took a sample for UOA.
Little electric oil extractor (from Amazon) and jumper battery (since car battery is located in the trunk) worked great.

Had to jack up engine in order to fully remove oil filter cap and filter itself. I guess engine mounts on my "to do" list now.

In: 8 liters (8.5q) of Lubro Moly TopTec 4100 5w-40 and Mahle filter.

Than accidentally hit half full jug and spilled about 1-2 liters of finest oil ...

Out: Factory fill and factory Honeywell filter
In: 4.5 qts Mobil 1 5w-20 and Mobil 1 110 filter.

All for $33 even.

Forgot to order a new drain gasket so I turned the old one over. No leaks the next day. I also rotated the tires and learned that I need taller jack stands. Guess I'll have to buy some new ones, what a shame

Something a bit different.

Briggs and Stratton 650 series engine 190 cc displacement. Troy Built 21 inch rear bag lawn mower.

Out: PYB 10W30
In: PYB 10W30

A bit over one pint of oil used. Engine uses very little oil.

Last changed April 15, 2011 and changed July 4, 2012. I admit being a bit late as I like to change before the first mowing of the new springtime.

Removed blade for sharpening soon within a few days. Air filter looks fine and does not need changing.
 
2011 Honda CRV 18,561 miles

Mobil 1 0-20w

Using the honda mileage minder so this worked out to 10,000 from the last change.
