Nice choice of oil. Super Tech / Kirkland oil is used by a lot of BITOG members.

This is probably my last DIY oil change as I'm moving and it's not feasible to change my oil unless I did it at a Walmart/Autozone parking lot. 2005 Toyota Camry, 2.4L. 248300 ODO.

4500 Miles on Oil/Filter
Out: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30/WIX 57145
In: Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5W30/WIX 57145

Good to see that my filter doesn't have any metal bits or carbon residue, still impressed that Valvoline Restore and Protect has noticeably made my engine run smoother.

2010 Mazda3 Sport, 2.5L 4-cylinder.
81,500 on the car, 4,500 OCI, 1 year since last OCI.

Oil Out: Valvoline High Mileage EP, 5w30 full synthetic (specs xW-20 ... want some added MOFT).
Filter Off: MicroGard Select MSL51348

Oil In: Valvoline High Mileage, 5w30 full synthetic (Walmart out of HM EP).
Filter On: MicroGard Select MSL51348

I was going to run some Valvoline Restore and Protect, but the engine didn't use
any oil at all, so figured the rings are nice and free. Valve train through the oil
fill hole is spotless, looks like a new engine inside. Maybe some other time for Valvoline Restore and Protect.

The Mountain Dew might help, not sure about the Rislone.

The rislone did fix the stuck lifter in my dad's f150 5.0

I downsized 5 yrs ago and ran into the same problem. My solution was get an oil extractor and a small container for the oil filter which I change every other oil change.

Ford engineers should be shot at sunrise for the oil filter location.

Can you do a c&p of the factory break in filter? That’d be cool.

C&P?

Edit: After using search I think it has something to do with cutting open the filter and checking for particles? Honestly, I have no issues doing so except I don't have the tool thing to cut the filter open.

2014 Harley StreetGlide Out: Unknown Oil Unknown Filter In: Mobil 1 Vtwin 20w50 With K&N KN-171C

First time we've been able to change it ourselves. We always had our local bike mechanic do it whenever it was in for maintenance.

You can get a filter cutter on eBay or Amazon for about $20.

2021 Sierra w/ 76,724. ~500 miles on this OCI.

Note, last oil change I installed a valvomax improperly and had a leak. Thanks to Mike at valvomax, he sent me a new washer (free of charge). Worked out well as I wanted to bump up to a 30 as is.

2025 Mazda CX50 Hybrid. 480km

Out: Toyota 0w16 and OE 90915-10009 filter.
In: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W20 and a 90915-10010 filter.

Done as a break in oil change. The poor A25A-FXS is loaded with wear metals..

Just to make sure I understand, CX50 has the A25A engine?

The CX-50 hybrid uses the RAV4 hybrid drivetrain, A25A engine and all

You can't go wrong with Pennzoil Ultra. My van is loving the 20 weight
