Post your latest oil change

...

Asked the wife her preferred oil: Turns out it's Mobil 1. Maybe next time.

I just asked my wife what oil I should use in her vehicle.
She said "motor oil", then said "whatever all that oil is in the garage".

Mine likes Mobil, dislikes Quaker State. No clue where the preference stems from, her dad is a Havoline man.

My wife is still a no on Mobil due the Valdez disaster.
I run it a few OCI, but it did do anything good - except make it to the NEXT OCI.
The Subarus over the years have seemed to HATE PP and drank like free beer at a Frat party,

I remember pictures of the Mobil Valdez

EXxon. Ten years earlier than EoM merger but that relationship was enough to keep her away from either Brand.

The disaster was a ship design/construction, navigation and ultimately a CAPT issue if I recall.

Blame EXxon for allow a single hull ship in to protected waters or ANY waters.

Blame Mobil because they married EXxon - shotguns out - or not

Castrol too ?

Castrol too ?

Yes the BP oil spill was much larger then the Exxon Valdez.

Edit: To add, you guys have some well informed wives. My wife wouldnt have a clue on any brand of motor oil LOL

Man I’m with you, we’ve got enough proof that the ST will perform well. Heck even the Project Farm himself agrees lol. This oil is better than anything that was recommended for it back in 2006. And that hint of 0w40 is a nice touch

Agree with SlavaB. . . . my son's ticking time-bomb 2.0T Hyundai hasn't self-destructed in over a year of running ST synthetic. . . and I don't expect it to!

 

[ARCOgraphite]

Castrol too ?

I don't think she made the connection between Castrol and B.P.

I sort of ignore her on these things now

2011 Acura TSX Wagon
98,928 miles
OCI: 1 year/3,400 miles

0W-20 Valvoline High Mileage oil removed via vacuum pump
Filled with new 0W-20 Valvoline High Mileage oil

I add oil to the full mark due to modest oil consumption. Oil level dropped to half way between full and low in one year, so consumption is currently at 1qt per 6,800 miles.

Next change will include a new filter, and I'll drain and fill the automatic transmission while the underbody shield is off.

2016 Toyota 4Runner: 33,378 miles, (3,342 miles on oil, 10,943 miles on filter (2 OCIs). The oil was in service from 7/2/20 to 3/17/21. The filter was in service from 3/13/19 to 3/17/21.

Out: NAPA 0w20, Toyota 04152-YZZA5 (2 OCIs)
In: 5 quarts of Valvoline modern engine 0w20 + 1.5 quarts of Napa full synthetic 0w20, Toyota 04152-YZZA5. I used a Toyota 90430-12028 crush gasket on the engine oil drain plug.
I drained the front and rear differential fluid (factory fill) and refilled with synthetic 75w90. The transfer case fluid looked really good through the fill hole so I left it alone for now. I had intended to only inspect the rear diff fluid and check the level, but the fluid looked pretty bad when I pulled the fill plug so I went ahead and changed it. The front diff looked much better than the rear but I went ahead and changed both while I was at it. I also sucked out the PS fluid reservoir and refilled it with Supertech Mercon V (calls for Dexron III). This is the first time the PS fluid has been touched on this car, I intend to evacuate and refill the PS reservoir at each oil change from now on.
