[IndyFan]

2008 Jeep Wrangler 3.8, 99,650 miles, Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 and Fram Ultraguard XG3600. This is the third OCI with this combo. The oil eating 3.8 doesn't eat as much with this oil. My OCI's are between 5k and 6k miles. 6k is as long as it can go with the warranty, or I'd run quite a bit longer.

insane OCI I Am on. Originally planned on going 7k on a current 5w30 pour and fill with Valvoline GP IV 5w30 FULLY (borrowed from EM) synthetic. I had no plans on topping off with anything cause it used very little up to 8k ish I Want to surmise. Pennzoil Conventional 10w30 for TOPPING OFF of simply 1 quart in a now 9k OCI!! My engine is in heaven, I kid seldom!! RIght now I got my list narrowed down to Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 (only if I Can find it readily), QS UD (0 to 5w30) Mobil 1 (0-20 EP up to 0/5 w 30) and maybe throw in a German Castrol or Castrol Edge with what I Call those AC/DC (borrowed from the band) certs, you know the ones I mean?!?!

A Merry Xmas oil change.

2001 Avalon - out SOPUS mix (Rotella T6, Pennzoil High Mileage, Pennzoil Full Synthetic) and Quaker State Filter

[69GTX]

2002 Lincoln Continental with 68,650 miles.

Out: Valvoline 5w20 conventional w/Fram UG XG2 filter. 3K mi/5 months on oil & filter.

In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 with FRAM UG XG2. Shooting for July/August and 4K-5K miles.

I was surprised at how heavy this old XG2 filter is so far. It's 2X to 3X the weight of a new one, and most of the easy oil has drained off. The last cycle with a PP1 filter weighed no differently used vs. new...though that was after 2 weeks draining in the hot summer sun. With rebates, this PP oil is cheaper than what I paid for the Valvoline conventional.

2002 Hyundai Elantra 179,000 miles

Out: Valvoline 10w30 conventional, Fram HM filter (3500 miles OCI)
In: MaxLife 10w30, OEM filter

There was some leaking (3/4 quart after 2700 miles), which upon further inspection seemed to come from not having the filter on tight enough. Hopefully there won't be any leaks this time around so that I don't have to replace a gasket.

2014 Dodge Durango 40,831 miles

6,031 miles for this OCI.

Out: Trop-Artic 5w20 / Mopar filter

I got the PUP with the Pennzoil make the switch program. I'll get a used oil analysis on the T/A and then another used oil analysis after this run of PUP. Curious to see how the T/A performed. I plan on taking the PUP to at least 7k miles.

13 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Titanium Hatch

Out: Mobil 1 5W30/NAPA Platinum
In: Napa Syn 5W30/NAPA Platinum

Changing after 6k because of prior oil contamination. OEM recommends 5W20, I run 5W30. Silly Ford, you don't run 10k between semi-syn oil changes. I knew better but stuck to the schedule just to confirm that it's not a great idea.

Being a service advisor for a local indie shop, I get cost from every parts house on the street. Napa Full Synthetic is $3.40 a pop and you just can't beat that for rebadged Valvoline Synpower.
