Lots of options for that. I'd say he has a lot more issues to worry about than cosmetics right now.^^^ Get some "Back to Black" on those faded plastic parts.

I'm a huge Mk3 fan. I was in my 20's then and owned a few throughout the years. Always wanted a plum (mulberry) exterior GTI mk3.

That's me, I read the threads about oil on here and get itchy to change the oil
2021 Chevy Traverse.
Female boss of mine, company vehicle. Did last oil change at 49,000 miles on May 19th.
Vehicle now has 58,700 miles in less than 2 months. Her commute is highway so she puts on almost 170 miles per day.
Out: ProTune 22500 filter and Safety Kleen 5w30 full Synthetic oil.
In: same oil and filter. Cut and post coming up. Rotated tires and adjusted all tire pressures to spec on door or 35 psi.

2010 Lexus GX460, odometer 64134
1UR-FE 4.6L
Out: Unknown oil, thin. Napa filter, 2983 miles.
In: 6.5 Quarts 5w40 Rotella T6 SM, 2 Quarts Total Quartz 5w40 9000 Energy SN, Wix 57173 Filter
I purchased this vehicle late May of this year. Carfax said the dealership replaced the oil and filter. I wanted to baseline so it was dumped today and will be sent to Blackstone labs for analysis. I plan to run this change about 6000 miles. The old filter was a Napa and looked identical to the Wix except for a translucent end cap vs solid. The Rotella is at least 9 years old and has sat in my garage for that long with many long hot Texas days. Should be fun to see the results when I send that in for analysis as well. The engine ran smooth before, and smooth again.

Sadly, I got a migraine 23 days after my last oil change. Clearly outside direct or even the residual time frame to consider it a trigger.
But on the other hand........

It's a nice filter for sure
2022 Toyota Camry
Out: leaking made in China “Purolator tech filter#14476. Filter was barely touching baseplate and very loose. Some idiot at Irwin PA lube shop did last oil change.
In: PZ 38 oil filter and Safety Kleen full synthetic 0w20 oil. Boss took lots of photos of oil undercoating too for proof of something happens. Then I degreased undercarriage. Guess good help is non-existent
