Out whatever bulk from Midas shop where he lives and cheap oil filter. He gets their 19.95 special.
In 5w20 Supertech conventional oil and Supertech S16 filter. I'm betting that whatever came out and off may not be as good as what went in and on.
Not sure the milage but he and his wife can now finish the road trip from Illinois to California and back with some fresh oil.
Are they taking Route 66 ? Or did the Interstate end that route?

2002 Mustang GT Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w30 Mobil 1 oil filter. 5000 kms on the oil.
'13 Cruze 1.4T, manual trans., 72,250 mi.
Drained Schaeffer's 9000 5w30 after near exactly 5,000 mi. (intended to do 7,500 like last time) because it's been short tripped a lot lately and I opted back to cheaper Valvoline Full Synthetic that'll get changed every 5K just to make sure the engine stays clean. Delco filter in and out. Gonna send in a used oil analysis just for curiosity's sake.

2016 Subaru Forester XT Touring
Changed factory fill oil on 8/4/16 with 2,965 miles at dealership (Bryan Subaru), as first 4 oil changes are complimentary.
Out with Subaru Synthetic 5w30 & "black" Subaru filter.
Replaced with Subaru synthetic 5w30 and "blue" Subaru oil filter.
Once complimentary oil changes are finished, I will be switching to 5w30 in either Royal Purple or Pennzoil Platinum.

2014 Porsche Cayenne 3.6L V6
Out: Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 and OEM filter.
In: Total Quartz INEO 5w30 and Wix 57462
I will most likely stick to this oil because it's the cheapest I can find that has the Porsche C30 VW504/507 approval.
This is the most annoying car to work on for oil changes. After unscrewing the oil filter housing, you have to remove the oil filter from the housing and pull them down 1 at a time. This is because the oil filter housing is too big unless it's rotated to fit through a hole with the axle in the way. Oil dumps everywhere.
Oil in the pan is easy after I put a fumoto on during its first oil change.
