Wife’s 2020 EcoSport 2.0L. 120,213 miles, 4,526 OCI.
Out - 2 qts NAPA 5w20 syn, 2 1/2 qts Frankenbrew syn, FL-910S.
In - 4 1/2 qts 5w20 Restore and Protect, FL-910S filter. I have 2 more jugs of R&P for next two changes. Probably do not need it as it has lived on 5,000 OCI since new and never uses oil between changes.

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.

Nice choice of oil. Can I ask the odometer miles on your 97 Toyota 4Runner?
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.

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.

Oil consumption slowly reducing each OCI with R&P. Engine loves it so will keep using it forever in this car.
Also flushed the brake fluid while I had it up on stands. Happy days

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.

VRP swap inside Toyota @ 5k miles with an AMSOIL filter.
BUT,.. The fluid before changing looked fantastic, still creamy brown, much like it was new.
Just wanted to throw that unusual attribute to this.
