Post your latest oil change

2017 Honda Accord Sport 2.4
393,000 miles

Found tiny seep in RMS, nothing awful but greatful not coming from transmission. Anyhow, changed fluid with Castrol Transmax 3qt, Hotshots Shift Restore/Redline Non Slip CVT remaining quart.

Changed Oil only with M1EPHM 5w30 & Liquimoly Hydraulic Lifter Additive just because I had it on hand and to slightly thicken up. Found a six bottle case of Castrol CVT Transmax in guest closet so i decided to use up, and if my leak was from transmission, the red dye would show up. Almost to 400,000 miles
New RMS/tranny seal next Tuesday! The owner commented the usually go out long before mine did. Told me to check it daily and top off and he will see me Tuesday.

‘15 Hyundai Elantra
216,122 miles / 1,256 miles OCI
7 months on oil & 14 months on filter
Out: NAPA 5W30 Blend / OEM 35505 Filter
In: Supertech FS (10K) 5W30 / ST9688 Filter

Daughter’s car. She did a lot of the work this time. Seasonal change due to mostly short trips. She drove a little more than usual this OCI due to getting a new job. Might push this OCI out to one year with the FS oil and more frequent driving with longer trips. Not sure yet.

2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L with VCM enabled. 162,105 miles on the vehicle.

Out: Super Tech High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30, Pentius PLXL7317 oil filter.
In: Super Tech High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30, Super Tech ST6607 oil filter.
4,991 miles on the oil.

Oil color was medium brown on the dipstick (not dark or light brown, just medium brown).
Oil dipstick is metal color (not dark and is not stained with varnish).
Oil filler hole looks relatively clean (no sludge).

Engine runs so smooth and feels like it has unlimited power on the highway.
Thinking this van can make it to 300k miles as it's driven gently with a light foot on the highway
at speeds of 55 MPH (1600 RPM) to 65 MPH (1900 RPM) to save fuel as I'm able to average 27.5 MPG
with those speeds. Despite it's age, this 8 passenger mini-van is very luxurious and comfortable on long trips with the
leather seats, Navigation, and DVD screens. We watch movies on the long cross country trips. Air Cond is ice cold.

Whenever I ride in another "new" or "newer" vehicle, I feel it's such a step downward from what I have now
in terms of nimble steering or driving comfort. No reason for me to buy a new van for $55k in my view.

2021 Hyundai Tucson - Daughter-in-laws vehicle.

26102 on vehicle, 2332 on the oil, almost 7 months. Slight fuel odor to it.

Out - Mobil FS 5W-30, OEM filter.
In - 4.25qts of VRP 5W-30, OEM filter, Filtermag on filter.

Not a lot of junk on the Votex drain plug but enough to ask why IMO with only 2300 miles. Also why the Filtermag went on. It used to be on my Pilot but I'm not using the S2000 filters as I ran out. Filtermag fits the Hyundai/Kia filter so good a place as any to put it.

Nice choice of oil. Can I ask the odometer miles on your 97 Toyota 4Runner?
Odometer miles about 360,000, but odometer is intermittent. This is a vehicle my son has, and I'm working on acquiring. He says the previous owner (trustworthy guy as far as I can tell) says the engine was rebuilt at around 270.000 miles. I intend to replace the gauge cluster at some point, but actual mileage of the vehicle itself is somewhere north of 360,000. Runs great, just got it smogged here in CA.
 
2014 Ford Mustang GT Track Pack 80,037 miles
Out 5L Liquimoly Molygen 5W50 and M1 5W50, Motorcraft FL-500S
In: Mobil 1 5W50 Supercar, Ford Racing FL-820S

Also changed pads and rotors front and rear, put in a Ford Racing aluminum driveshaft and Energy Suspension trans mount insert. Was going to flush the brake fluid but ran out of time.

Tuesday-
2017 Accord 2.4L 6MT, 4979 on oil, 116k on motor.
Out - Fram FE7317, 1qt HPL PCEO 5W-30 and 3.5qts PP Euro L 5W-30. Had to add 1.75qts during the OCI but it was at the full mark.

In - Fram FE7317, 1qt HPL PCEO 5W-30 and 3.5qts Chevron Delo 400 XSP 5W-40. The AAP clearance sale stuff.
So my son just came home for the weekend with my Accord and I'm doing my normal pre-trip check/fill things before he goes back.

I'm at just over 4300 miles on this OCI with just over 120k on vehicle. I just added 1/4qt to top it to full line, he added 1/2 a short time ago.

That puts me at 3qts of "top off" over the 4300 miles. Maybe that's some of the Volatility that @JAG tested with the DELO 5W-40? Maybe it's the longer highway drives to Virginia and back? Maybe it's just my Accord? PCV was done very recently but it's always used some oil since I got it. Either way we'll keep it topped off as normal and I'll change it next time the car is back. This was the first run on the Delo if that has any impact like others experience when switching.

Contrary to the Accord, my daughters CRV on same original ratio of 1qt HPL and 3.5qt Delo 5w-40 has used nothing over the 3000 miles so far.
