Post your latest oil change

Went a little off the ranch with this one because my local oil gettin' spot was out of Motorcraft 5W20 so I went with Valvoline High Mileage 5W20. I did, however, stick with the Motorcraft FL910S filter in my 2014 Fusion.
Mileage at this change on the good ol' NA 2.5L was 197500 which meant that this OCI went a little over my typical 5000 miles which is fine because about half of those mikes was on the freeway.
Next up, 202000 miles.

Sample take of M1 Triple 5w30 - 5,500 miles. Zero make up oil.
In - Mobil 1 Triple 5w30
Everything torqued to exact spec.
Other than the filter, changing the oil in this truck is a breeze. No ramps required. Even 6qts oil. Why can't they all be an even number?
I bought two extra oil filter plastic inserts in case they ever break. It does happen. So far so good.

2013 Ford F-150 5.0. 164,041 miles on the engine, and 4,805 miles on this OCI. This was my first run of HPL, so I changed it early and will dissect the filter.
Out: HPL 5W-40 P.P. and a Royal Purple 20-500 filter
In: Same
Also changed the air filter with an STP PSA10262.

Moved away from the Schaeffer's for a bit?
Runs like a top and no oil usage between OCI. Runs smooth

For a bit. I am a big Schaeffer’s fan, and still use their greases. However, seeing HPL’s customer interaction on here, how forthcoming with information Dave has been, and all the positive experiences people have had I couldn’t resist giving it a try.
Changed the oil in my FIL 2012 Tacoma today. Truck has 70k miles mostly short trips.
Out; dealer bulk 5w30 and Toyota filter
In: super tech full synthetic 5w30 (19.88 my FIL is frugal) and I splurged on the Fram Ultra mostly because Wallyworlds filters seemed to be arranged by a demented 5 year old
Also changed cabin filter

That sounds like a fun brew.
How involved is the cvt service?
I've never worked on a cvt.
I suggest Youtube-ing a CVT service. Similar to an oil change; sometimes easier sometimes a little more involved.
On this car, there is a transmission dipstick tube. I just use the MityVac. Easy peasey.
