Post your latest oil change

2014 Kia Rio - 152K (2500 miles - short interval due to piston soak.)

Did another Piston Soak with Berryman B12 (used Sea Foam last time.). Did a good 24 hour soak with some agitation every 4 hours.

Out - Supertech 10W-40 synthetic blend and a Supertech MP9688 filter.

In - Supertech 10W-30 HM Synthetic and a Supertech MP9688 filter.

Spark plugs and belt next weekend.

Oil filters supplied by @53' Stude and will be cut open next weekend and posted.
May not be the right spot for this, but my son has been driving car for last couple weeks. Maybe 750 miles. Quite a bit of driving. I had to go to Canada for a business trip, so was gone for a week. Checked the oil this morning, NOT A DROP lost. Perfectly full. I was shocked. That Berryman piston soak procedure works. I though there was carbon scoring on cylinder walls, but I guess not. Awesome.

'13 Scion XD, 1.8 76800 mi.
OCI: 3500 mi. 11 months.

Out: Valv. Adv. 0W20, Wix filter
In: Valv. Adv. 0W20, Fram TG

Not sure how I got the Fram. Must have picked it up at WM at some time. Been with Valv. Adv (and whatever it was tagged as some years ago) for the 8 years I've owned this car.
 
2023 Forester 30k km 4600 km OCI
Out: Quaker State Full Synthetic 0w20 / OEM Subaru
oil filter
In: Mobil 1 EP 0w20 / OEM Subaru oil filter

I would like to extend it until 7500 km
but I don't have a garage just an open driveway so I don't wanna risk doing it in the winter. Might as well do it now while it still warm outside.

2020 Ford Ranger, 80k miles, always a 5k OCI.

Out: Valvoline Advanced 5w-30 and Motorcraft FL-400S.
In: Valvoline Advanced 5w-30 and Mobil 1 M1-209A filter.

The Ranger 2.3 Ecoboost calls for a Motorcraft FL-910S but I learned the FL-400S is bigger and fits fine. Also it's easier to reach since it's longer. 2019+ Rangers are a PITA to get to the filter. I replaced the plastic clips on the inner fender splash guard with powerful magnets and cut the oil change time in half.
Since Wally Mart doubled the price of Motorcraft filters I figure I might as well spend another $2 and get Mobil 1's.
FL-910S = M1-102A
FL-400S = M1-209A
 
Full service of a 2017 Holden (Opel) Astra today, 1.6L Turbo and 6T45 auto transmission. First time I’ve used Restore and Protect in 5W-30 flavour here in Australia - these call for a Dexos1 so close enough, and the valvetrain looked very dirty down the fill cap, so thought this car was the perfect test candidate for R&P.

Also drained and filled the 6T45 with Nulon LVSYNATF, drained and filled the cooling system with Nulon red coolant, flushed the brake fluid with some TRW DOT 4, and replaced air, cabin and of course oil filters.

Back at it again:

2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback (2.5L Manual)
55,600 on odo, 5,150 on Oil & Filter. Distance was covered in about 77 days, accelerated by a cross-country trip of 2,758 miles over 4 days. UOA analysis coming soon.

Out: Pennzoil Ultra 0W20 + Mazda OEM Filter (Roki / Japan)
In: Pennzoil Ultra 0W20 + Mazda OEM Filter (Roki / Japan)
Another Oil Change for the Mazda. Still Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 and Roki filter. 60,760 miles on car and 5,160 on oil (no make-up oil needed). Took sample for UOA to keep an eye on a Potassium trend.
