Post your latest oil change

I think you'll be fine for the winter although if the engine consumes any oil you could top up with straight Delvac 0W-40.
Adding as little as 250mls will bump you into the light 0W-30 category.
Next OCI (for summer use) if you want to play it more conservatively go for 2 litres of Delvac for a 60/40 blend.
That will give you a 0W-30 with a 3.1cP HTHSV and 203 VI.
Still lighter on start-up than a 5W-20 at room temperature and over 20% lighter at OC.
 
Decided back in April to ignore mileage and just go with a 6 month OCI on both vehicles since neither of us drive as much as we used to now that I work close to home and my wife is a stay at home mom. I estimate our vehicles might see between 3k-4k each in 6 months.

02 Caravan
Out: mix of leftover 5w30, 10w30, and there might have been some 5w20 in there too. Pure One PL14670
In: Valvoline NG ML 5w30, Pure One PL14670

07 T&C Almost changed it, but oil was still pretty clean so topped it off (was 1/2 Qt low) and decided to wait another 6 months. I figure the Castrol Syntec should be ok for a one year OCI. It might not even see 6k in that time frame.
 
2013 Kia Sorento EX V6 AWD

Out: 5qt Quaker State Advanced Durability 5w20 + .5qt leftover NextGen Dino 5w20 OEM Filter
In: 5qt Quaker State Advanced Durability 5w20 + .5qt left over PYB 5w20 OEM Filter
Miles on Oil: 6200

Was going to run out to 7000 miles but there's an item that needed service so had the oil changed instead of making a separate trip just for that.
