2008 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L (106,371 overall miles)

Out -- Mobil Super 5W20 & Pro Select Filter (4109 miles)
In -- RGT 5W20 & ST 9688
All in all, oil change came out to less than 15 bucks. RGT on clearance from Advance Auto & ST 9688 alittle over 3 bucks.

2002 Buick LeSabre 3.8L V6
129k miles total, 5.5k miles on OCI
Mother-in-Law's car

Out: Whatever TF Jiffy Lube put in it.
In: 2 quarts HPL HP SAE 30 EF + 2 quarts Havoline HM Syn-Blend 5w-30, Fram PH3387

This thing has been drinking a quart of oil every ~2500 miles but no visible leaks and no blue smoke from the exhaust. I'm hoping to figure out where it's going.

I also did a coolant/anti-freeze change and brake fluid change on this car today.

Have you checked operation of the pcv valve? A quart every 2500 miles probably isn't going to manifest as blue smoke.

Changed oil in 2018 Subaru Legacy Sport.
Out: Mobil 1 0W-20 AFE and Amsoil oil filter.
In: Mobil 1 0W-20 EP and blue Subaru Filter.
~5,108 miles on oil since I changed it in July.

Also changed the air filter with Fram Ultra 9997 (I think that's the p/n).

Wife has been driving this to work so she is putting on a lot more miles in 6 months than I was. I was putting between 2 and 3k every 6 months. If she was in 5 days a week the mileage would be higher.
 
2015 Ford Transit 3.5 Ecoboost, 140k on the vehicle, 60k on the engine.



Out: Shell RGT 5w30, Fram XG10575, about 4.5k miles on the oil/filter.

In: Shell RGT 5w30, Fram XG10575. I'm on a long trip to Texas, so I may leave this oil in there for 7500.

I've got one more OCI's worth of RGT 5w30 and then it'll be back to Mobil 1 EP 5w30 for 10k OCI's.
Did that Taurus have the water pump failure?
 
Did that Taurus have the water pump failure?

No. It's a Transit and the water pump is fine. I did have an upper radiator hose burst while in Houston, though. It blew out every drop because the water pump was working well. Got the new hose and a fresh load of coolant, so a coolant change is now off the maintenance radar, Lol!
