2015 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium

Subie dealer in Leesburg, FL did two factory recall services and a factory complimentary oil and filter change at 17K miles. Foolish me didn't check the dipstick until I was returning to NC. The result: it was overfilled by a quart. Why are some technicians so careless? I almost needed a pair of channel locks to open the oil fill cap.

At 17902 miles I corrected the fill and installed a Fumoto drain valve to use for the two remaining OC's before I the lease ends. I'll be saving the Fumoto for the next vehicle.

2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7L Hemi

Out: Delo 10w30 + 1 Qt MMO, Baldwin B2.
In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30, Napa Gold 1515.

Was doing a filter change interval but upon cutting open the filter the media has separated from one of the end caps. Didn't know if I have to change it or not so I changed it. Just changed it for safety measures.

IMO.....you are highly under-utilizing a top-tier synthetic. What a waste. should be able to do at least 7500...on Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Platinum.

If your intent is doing only 3000 OCI's (old school)...just save $$$ and go to a conventional.

He has a car under warranty, it calls for oil changes every 6 months. Why does it bother you if he spends an extra $7 twice a year for synthetic?

Not boring, looks good to me. Mobil 1 High Mileage is a top drop.
 
Malibu

Out - Pennzoil High Mileage and a Delco 457G
In - Super Tech High Mileage and a ST9018

The deal I got was too hard to beat

Equinox

Same thing, too good of a deal
 
2014 Mazda5 van with 2.5L engine (non-SkyActiv)

Out: Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus 0w-20 after 6 months and 6900 miles
In: Pennzoil Platinum PurePlus 0w-20

Plan on sticking with Wix filters for a long time but will probably extend OCI and use Mobil 1 Extended Performance next (have some ready to go already).
 
2003 BMW 330i
Out: BMW 5w30 w/OEM filter
In: Mobil 1 0w-40 (LL-01 version) w/FRAM filter (made in China....ewwww)

Km's on the car were ~181,000. This is my sister's car and unfortunately being a last minute oil change, we were unable to source a non-China filter. Was a bit disappointed.

Because its a stupid waste of resources....I dom't crre if he spends extra $$$, but its still for stupid reasons. USE A CONVENTIONAL.....at 3000 OCI's.
