Post your latest oil change

Yearly oil change for my 2004 Toyota 4Runner 4.0L V6
206,227 miles

Out:
Mobil 1 0w-40 and Toyota YZZD3 oil filter
In:
PYB 10w-30 and Toyota YZZD3 oil filter
Oil in service 6,318 miles/12 months.

Additional maintenance:
Drain/fill transmission fluid with Castrol Trans Max. Last serviced at 177,718.
Drain/fill radiator with Zerex Aisin. Last serviced at 170,680.
Replaced spark plugs with NGK Ruthenium HX. Last replaced at 162,089.
Replaced front/rear brake pads/rotors with Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and Powerstop pads. Front pads and rotors were replaced at the Toyota dealership when I bought it at 135,724.
 
2013 Mazda 6 at 130k miles.
Also drained and filled the trans ~3qt.
Shop put in Ridgeline 0w20. Previous oil changes on our cars were Thrive for the longest time and then a brief foray into Cam2. Now it is Ridgeline. I really need to read my shop slips at the shop so I can ask why things are changing like this. The data sheet looks decent, much like Cam2 and Thrive were. Lots of info on that sheet, too. Some brands only put a few lines of data.
The Mazda 5 in the sig was lubed with Ridgeline 0w20. 140k mile service.
This time, I asked about the bulk brand changes the past couple of months. The reason is the supplier issues. The intent is for Cam2 and Ridgeline to be temporary while the chain to US Lubricants (makers of Thrive) gets corrected... IF it gets corrected. Kudos to my shop crew for finding good replacements for Thrive in the meantime.

Off: Fram XG3600

Miles on filter: 4,710

Oil changed at Walmart. They removed the drainplug to drain; unsure of total quantity drained and can't give feedback on dilution level.
Dipstick reads at the top of hash marks.

Odo at change: 134,149
Out: 6qt of pre-blend (5qt QSE 5w-40, 1qt ETO2380, 1qt Traveller SAE 40)
OCI Hours: 199
OCI Miles: 134,149 - 126,282 = 7,867

Off: Fram PH3600
Hours on filter: 199
Miles on filter: 7,867

In: QSAD 5w-30 API SP
On: Fram XG3600

Good notes: The oil level stayed at the top of the hash marks the whole OCI--no rising dipstick anymore. No oil burning either.

Oil changed at Walmart. They removed the drainplug to drain. After draining, they then told me they couldn't use the oil I brought because it came in an opened container. After a little back and forth between their liabilities (of which they didn't want to release any liabilities over to me,) they agreed to just put in QSAD 5w-30 at a pit crew rate. The oil nut in me was sad, but I really shouldn't complain about it. Starting plan is to take this out to 100 hours.
 
2022 Palisaide. All the mileage was from our road trip to Toronto this month.

Curious as to why the turbine oil. I went back through your posts and didn't see a reason there.
Is it to clean the rings or just because it was in your garage and added to your mix?
Thank you,
 
2017 Hyundai Elantra 2.0. 41,000 on car. 5,500 Miles on oil.
In: QS Syn Blend Dealer Bulk 5w20 and OEM Oil Filter
Out: QS Syn Blend Dealer Bulk 5w30 and OEM Oil Filter
Seems the dealer switched to 5w20. This past OCI the car used about 1/2 a quart which I found unusual.

Yeah, I'd agree however 1/2 q isn't TOO bad, right - seems ok for 5k+

Thank you,
Cleaning the rings and dissolving varnish. This drain was of one of my first blends trying it out. Since then, I try to keep the vol% less than 10 now, however which way I end up blending it. Feel free to DM me if you care to know more about this rabbit trail.

So far so good. Got plenty of torque for day to day commuting and occasional travel trailer towing. Btw, I get 16.5 mpg on Hwy driving and almost 10 mpg while towing. The towing mpg is the same as my previous Ecoboost F150.
That is better than the Wifes 2018 F350 4X4 gets with the 6.2 gas engine .
