Replaced a leaking V-Tec solenoid gasket on the Honda today so I went ahead and did an oil change since I was already removing the oil filter for easier access to the bolts. Refilled with Castrol GTX Synthetic and a Honda OEM oil filter.

2016 Kia Sorento, 3.3L V6 Lambda II engine. 106k miles on the odometer. Girlfriend’s car that I now get to maintain, which I’m pumped about! It sounds like the service intervals have been iffy, but it’s been a reliable vehicle for her and I want it to last. Peppy engine, I’ve gotta say. It’s a joy to drive.
Out: Unknown oil, unknown filter. Based on the O’Reilly sticker in the window, might have 5.5k miles on the oil.
In: 5w30 SuperTech full syn with a Fram Tough Guard filter. I’m planning on a 4k mile OCI. Not for any particular reason; I just like changing oil, and it’s a fun activity to do with her kids.

That’s allot of work/cash beyond an annual water seal … !
Some like “aged” (me) - some like the Home Depot look …
2023 Honda Civic Touring Sedan 1.5t 9300 miles, 3235 on oil
Out: Mobil1 0w20 EP, Honda 15400-PLM-A02 filter
In: Mobil1 0W-20 EP, Honda 15400-PLM-A02 filter
Waiting on UOA, possibly Mobil1 5W-30 EP next time
Tired of playing filter roulette, staying with the Honda, seems to work fine.

I used to enjoy oil changes, seriously. But they are always getting squeezed in before doing something else. Today I had about 1 1/2 hours before needing to take my kid to karate. I know it’s plenty of time but I woulda let it drip more 
Got this on sale last year with rebate

Castrol Edge EP excellento John. Your Wix is a mid-tier for flow & trapping combo..... right up-my-alley also.
Two good choices.
Don't let your kids get too good with Karate. Then they will teach your wife the Fine Offensive / Defensive Art. Then right out-the-window goes our Male 51% Superiority of the home.

For me it was the cheapest 5w30 the farm supply store nearby had!
2015 Lexus IS250 5355mi on car
Out: Toyota 0W20 and filter, two years on oil and filter, unknown mileage. It was the nastiest oil I've smelt almost like a sour like smell to it.
In: 7qts Toyota 0W20 oil and 04152-YZZA5 filter.
Clean for a garage queen.
And it's still got the original 10 year old Panasonic battery. Had to do a CCA test using the Solar BA9 tester on it and it tested 380CCA. I let him keep a Battery Tender to keep the battery charged up. I also let him know that it needs to be changed out already.

I found a faded sticker that says last change was at Valvoline oil change shop 10/25/2018 100,735 miles, 5 W20. So 1092 miles and 6 years on the oil.

The 3 Euros were snagged on Wal Mart sale at $5 each last week but there were only 3 left so it ended up as part of a frankenblend.
