Out/off - Pennzoil Platinum HM 5w-20 (with 3-4 qts makeup oil, various brands)/Mobil 1 M1-210A
In/On - Pennzoil Platinum HM 0w-20/ Fram XG10575
This oil was some old stuff, 2017 vintage...
Filter is an oddball size filter, the PH2 size filter is a pain to get out and makes a mess, this one is just as long, just not a big around.
Planned OCI is unknown.
This thing uses a qt every 1,200 miles or so and does not get driven much, I figure maybe 4 years/10,000 miles (if I even keep it that long)?
I mean this last interval was over 2 years and right at 5,000 miles with 3 or 4 qts of top off oil (was about due for another top off, part of why I decided to change).
At 7000 miles from now it basically will have had 6 qts top off oil (6 qt sump), and with the Ultra, figure what the heck.
I have 6 more quarts of Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 0w-20, so may just use all that then change.

2010 Chevy Silverado with 176,000 miles.
Out: Quaker State 5W30 and Champion Filter.
In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and Champion 10575 oil filter.
6,000 mile run on oil and filter.
The Champions were left over from a long-ago clearance at Rock Auto. Also lubed the upper and lower ball joints and tie rod ends, on replacement units. Checked the rear diff. The plug was seized and needed liquid wrench and several shots of my Milwaukee 3/8 drive impact wrench with a short socket extension. Came off with rust specs flying. Always wear safety glasses.

I noticed that the QS was black as coal and smelled awful! Not like fuel but just strong used oil smell. Filled my garage with the smell. It was my first time using GTL based oil so this might be normal but for 3,000 miles it was way dirtier than anything I’ve used before.
2011 Honda Civic EX-L, Miles: 123,688
Just purchased this car from a young lady, so not quite sure what oil was in it, something bulk from a shop.
Out/Off:
Unknown oil, Napa ProSelect filter 27356 (made in china). (I cut it open, I will get some pictures up soon)
In/On:
Mobil Clean 5,000 5W30 and a Purolator PureOne PL14610 filter.
Also did 3 spill and fills on the transmission with Honda DW-1 ATF and a Honda OEM transmission filter.
Also replaced the cabin air filter with one of those Fram CV10134 "N95" cabin air filters, I know it's a gimmick but it was right in front of me at Walmart, made in the USA and didn't smell like nasty chemicals (febreeze), so I figured I'd give it a shot.
