Post your latest oil change

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 R&P 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 R&P 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, 5W-30 full synthetic (specs xW-20 ... want some added MOFT).
Filter Off: MicroGard Select MSL51348

Oil In: Valvoline High Mileage, 5W-30 full synthetic (Walmart out of HM EP).
Filter On: MicroGard Select MSL51348

I was going to run some Valvoline Restore & 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 VRP.

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.
