2020GMC Sierra AT4 with 3.0 Duramax; 7 Quarts ACDelco 0W20(Dexos D) with .5Q Schaeffers Moly EP and a PF66 Oil filter. 43k miles and last UOA using the same materials was very good after 6k miles or 20% on the OLM. In the summer I run Schaeffers Euro Spec 5w30, same filter but no Moly. A very good oil for the small diesel...only 0.8% SAC. Made for diesels with DPF's.... https://www.schaefferoil.com/documents/288-8008-td.pdf

Found the pan gasket to be the source of the leak. Will replace the pan gasket sometime in the summer it’s just too darn cold to do it now lol. Cleaned it up really good with brake cleaner and degreaser and let it run and that’s where it’s seeping from some spots little more than others. Was strongly suspecting the timing covers to be the source as it’s common on these 3.0 after age. Also for some reason the drain plug likes to seize on this thing so I had to use a long 1/2 ratchet to get it off ended up rounding the drain plug on one corner because I don’t have a 15mm 6 point 1/2 shallow socket at home and the 1/2 to 3/8 adapter with the 3/8 socket was too long to fit in the area so I had to just use the 1/2 drive socket with the ratchet. The plug was already a little bit rounded on that one part but i finished it off this time lol. At least it still goes after you hit it on a little. So I’ll replace that next time.

Out: probably 3 quarts of Valvoline High Mileage and 2 quarts of Pennzoil High Mileage. Started with 5 quarts of Valvoline but it’s an oil user. Off: Toyota 04152-YZZF1
In: 5 quarts Napa 5W-30. On: Purolator 14477 filter. I know the capacity is not quite 5 quarts but we put all of it in because it will burn about a quart in 1,000 or so miles.

2021 Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Etorque, 9,124 miles
Out: Supertech Advanced Full Synthetic 0w20, Mobil 1 filter
In: Mobil 1 EP 0w20, Fram Ultra filter
The factory fill on my wife's 2021 was in there for about 4400 miles (We bought it used) and I put the Supertech in there intending a short 2k or 3k run to continue to clear out the residual materials from assemble and break-in. I decided to leave it in there for 5k, but we had warm weather today so out it went with about 4600 or so on it. I'll run the Mobil 1 until it hits about 15k miles and settle into 5k OCI's from there on out.

Reusing the same Mann filter for the next 10,000 km. Old oil still transparent thanks to E85.
Wanted to test something thinner this time (9.9 cSt, close to a 20 grade).

2017 Nissan Rogue, 2.5L 4cyl. Dealer 0W20 and Nissan 15208 65F0E out, and Penn Plat 0W20 and Mahle OC575 installed. Drain plug torqued to 26Ft-Lbs.
Decided to start doing the oil service myself, my wife was against this when it was under warranty, but I can do this work for $45 CAD versus $79 CAD at the dealer. Very easy car to change the oil, the engine block has a nice cast lip at the oil filter that directs the draining oil away from the car, my Infiniti soaks my subframe with oil each time the oil filter comes off.

VW 2022: Oil and filter is changed by dealer because it comes with servicing for the first 30000 miles. I think they use Shell last time. I'll probably try the 5W40 Mobil 1 or Fuchs after that.
