Post your latest oil change

Saturday

2011 Chevy Impala LT.

Out: whatever bulk oil Tec Select quick line used and made in Mexico filter

In: Super Tech 5w30 conventional and WIX filter
 
1999 Pontiac Firebird
GM 3800 Series II V6

92,607 original miles
3,001 miles on oil change, approx. 8 mos.

Out: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30/Fram Extended Guard XG3980 (NOS)
In: Havoline 10w30/Purolator PureOne PL10111

The Purolator is one of the tear prone ones, and will only be used for another 3k OCI. I do not trust it to go further.
 
2002 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor 182,000 miles; 7000 miles and just over 2 months on this change.
Out:
Valvoline Maxlife 5W20
Lubeguard Bio-Tech engine oil treatment
Fram Ultra XG2
Only one quart of oil was needed this time.

In:
Valvoline Maxlife 5W20
Lubeguard Bio-Tech engine oil treatment
Fram Ultra XG2

Super happy with the Lubeguard. The previous OCI was 14,000 miles and it drank a quart of Maxlife 2500-2750 miles like clockwork. With this OCI, I had to add a quart at 3500 miles and at 7000 it was probably 3/4 quart low. So, fantastic improvement.

Out: 5w30 Quaker State Ultimate Durability (topped off by 2 qts. of Castrol Magnatec 5w30); both dexos1 oils, as my car requires; Fram ToughGard filter. Four months/3330 miles, 37% oil life on the monitor.

In: AC Delco 5w30 and AC Delco filter (plus tire rotation); plan to run until mid-October or so.
 
1999 Camaro SS 5.7L. 12 months on oil and only 980 miles.

Changed the filter because I wanted to get as much of the old oil out since the add packs on the old/new oils are quite different (low calcium, strong magnesium vs. very high calcium and no magnesium).

Out: Mobil 1 5w30 and Mobil 1 filter.

In: Mobil 1 0w-40 last year's higher viscosity version and Fram Ultra.
 
2009 Nissan Versa, 88k miles:

Out: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 & PP HE filter.

Castrol High Mileage works great in my F150 4.2L but in the 4.0L it has the light ticking at startup, using the Mopar filter.
