[IndyFan]

2008 Jeep Wrangler 3.8, 99,650 miles, Mobil 1 EP 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 5w-30 pour and fill with Valvoline GP IV 5w-30 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. PYB 10-30 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 PP 0w-20 (only if I Can find it readily), QS UD (0 to 5w-30) 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?!?!

[69GTX]

2002 Lincoln Continental with 68,650 miles.

Out: Valvoline White Bottle 5w-20 w/Fram UG XG2 filter. 3K mi/5 months on oil & filter.

In: PP 5w-30 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 VWB.

2002 Hyundai Elantra 179,000 miles

Out: VWB 10W-30, Fram HM filter (3500 miles OCI)
In: MaxLife 10W-30, 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.

[Pepsibottle1]

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 syn is $3.40 a pop and you just can't beat that for rebadged Valvoline Synpower.
