Post your latest oil change

[JeffKeryk]

2005 Prius, 200K+ miles, unk OCI
My friend's daughter has her permit; her folks bought her a Prius from a neighbor for $2000; probably a steal in these parts.
Out: black crude and quickie lube filter?
In: Fram TG that I had on the shelf and 4 qts Kirk HM Syn 5w30

Polished headlights, aired up Bridgestones with cracked sidewalls, etc.
I asked her to bring it back in 3K and I will service the oil again and probably ATF. Gotta love that lifetime WS, right?

I instructed Sarah to never bring me the car that dirty again or she would be in deep yogurt.
We will do a series of services until all fluids are fresh. Guess I should check the plugs?

2007 Mazda 3 2.0 169700 miles

Out: Mobil 1 0w-40 FS and Supertech ST3614.
We bought the car used with about 110k on the odometer, spec is 5W20 but it always had a bit of oil consumption. I switched to 5W30 a few years back which was better but still used some oil especially after ~3000 miles into the OCI. Fast forward to April 2024 I got the itch to try the Mobil 1 and didn't even have to top it off for the entirety of the OCI 5338 miles and 1 year! Don't know if it was the add pack(maybe) or viscosity(likely) but I'm certainly on the Euro XW-40 bandwagon now.

In:
Quaker State Euro 5W-40
Microgard Select MSL51348

So do you think its made much difference?

Nope.....still burns 1/2-3/4 quart in 4K. That's just Hyundai though probably.

Maybe its that oil just doesn't live up to the hype or maybe any oil can't fix the low tension rings problem?

Probably the last part. Some folks have had great success with R&P.

Maybe it’s that oil just doesn't live up to the hype or maybe any oil can't fix the low tension rings problem?

If you had been paying attention to the many testimonials of members in here then you would know that this oil is not just hype, it’s the real deal and it works in almost every case. Some results show more improvement in consumption than others but almost everyone reports some sort of improvement, myself included (it reduced my Civic’s consumption by about 50%)

That isn't bad, and probably within spec.

Somewhat surprisingly, my Toyota owners manual states that 1 qt per 600 miles is normal!

This is why I want to dump a load in the ole Whitey Dakota. Thru fill hole I can see more bare metal on valvetrain. Dunno if T5 Rotella or HPL CK4 5w30 HDEO did it

2023 Mazda CX-30 with 22500 miles

Out: Valvoline R&P 5W-30, Fram Ultra 7317

My 2012 F150 3.7 V6
280,356 miles on truck
7,376 miles on Castrol Euro 5W30 API SL/ Pentius PLXL 10575 filter
Same oil/filter in

This has been the longest oci on this truck since Ive owned it and longest on any vehicle Ive owned. Its been a busy 2 months, in 2 months Ive driven 13k miles

Ill cut open the filter tomorrow when my filter cutter comes in. I also have a Pentius with 5k on it from my truck that Ill cut and post also.

I attribute it to the HTHS of the Euro 5W30, but the engine has been quiet throughout the whole oci. With non Euro oils, by 5k on the oci the engine is noticeably louder/ticks alot

Hit the 180,000 mile mark last change...

2013 Lexus CT200h
Out: Valvoline Extended Protection 0w-20, Microgard Select filter

2006 Saturn Ion 2.2L Oil was sufficiently dark and I wanted something to do.
Out : M1 AFE 0W30 Defense 9018
In : Some NASCAR oil and a TG9018 Engine likes it. Smooth.

My 2012 3.7 F150 with 280k miles
Both Pentius PLXL 10575 filters
Pic on the left has 5k on it and was used with Castrol EP 5w30. No wavy pleats/tears and ADBV was perfect

Middle and right pic that filter has 7,376 miles on it and was used with Castrol Euro 5w30 api SL
Filter media and ADBV were again perfect.

Im definitely impressed with the China/Vietnam/Korea made filters.

Ill be using them from here on out. Just spun on my last Pentius 10575 last night along with some Castrol Euro 5W30, Ill cut that one in 7k

Got my filter cutter on Amazon for $20, identical to Longacre and works great
