2016 Hyundai Elantra GT, 140,000 miles. About 6,100 on the oil n filter.
Gathered up some old bottles I'm trying to get rid of and made a mix of what I calculated to be 8W-38. Hyundai filter installed as well.
The oil that came out looked very good, I think I'm changing oil too often.
Here's the oil assortment.

I am going to preface this by saying I do feel a little dumb but at the very least feel better after the fact.
2005 Tahoe Z71 6.0 LQ4
325,523
OUT: Castrol GTX HM SM formula (2009), WIX 51042 filter
IN: Mobil 1 Euro FS SP 0W-40, WIX 51522 filter
I know I just changed this... only about 219mi on the OCI. It was probably just my mind playing tricks on me, but it sounded like the engine had a lot more piston slap. It is incredibly quiet with the M1 0W-40. I liked (loved) it last time, was pleased with it after 4,500 miles. So I dumped it very early.
Happy to change it and to have some M1FS 0W-40 in it again.
With that said I am going to liquidate a lot of my stash and start running better products longer. Plan to just run M1FS 0W-40 year round in both trucks.

How'd the analysis go?
2021 VW Atlas Motul X-Clean 0W30 EFE UOA
Here is UOA Motul X-Clean 0W30 EFE. This is lates version of this oil that has BMW LL04 approval. Pour point is -52, so definitely some PAO there. The additive pack is obviously the newest one. Driving conditions may be 3,500 aggressive highway driving, rest is a city. Road trip to Las Vegas...

(my opinion)
That Rogue is too new for Valvoline R&P, unless you bought it used and saw it was engine abused. If you bought that Rogue new, if Valvoline is your favorite oil producer, why not Advanced or EP instead?
That Midnight Edition is really nice. My daughter leases and the new Rogue she picked out last summer costs her $100 less per month than a similar one to yours.

1998 Accord 2.3L 4 banger, 173K on the clock, 4,800 OCI
Out Kirkland or Maybe QS 5w30
In Kirk + QS Supreme 5w30, left filter for next time
MityVac for the win. Aired up and rotated tires; 1 is worn on inside tread.
Needs smog and the new EVAP system is not recognized by the computer.

It won’t hurt anything. And the price difference is negligible really. All within a few dollars of each other at my local WM.
Lease though it would be cheapest oil/filter possible. My Malibu is a lease and it gets whatever the quick lube uses. And that is fine by me.
2024 Chevy Trax
4.2 quarts Supertech full synthetic 5w30
AC Delco PF64 oil filter
This is the second oil change I've done on this tiny (1.2) 3 cylinder turbo. I did the first change at 500 miles expecting to see "something" in the oil, but didn't. This oil change was at 5 months, but I'd only driven 2,000 more miles. Between November and April I don't drive much and it's mostly short trips so I prefer to get that oil out. The engine has a decent amount of power which is surprising to me.

2015 maybe Chev City Express work van, which is a Nissan.
Out: maybe 3.5 qts, Wix filter, which was pretty heavy...
In: 5 qts STP Syn 5w30, STP filter
Getting our house painted; the guy is doing a great job. Using Ben Moore. He told me he is busy so hasn't serviced his work van, which he calls his "partner". So I offered to lend a hand.
I asked him if he checked the oil level; a big negatory!
I aired up the tires; fronts are bald. Topped up the fluids, cleaned the battery, etc.
I asked him to bring it back to me between 4 and 5K miles.

So promised a coworker I’d do his oil change. Got him some Amsoil and a filter. Finally got a nice stretch of weather to do it. It was 18000km past it’s oil change reminder… but we won’t talk about that…
