Out: HPL 0w30 Premium Plus
Carquest premium filter 85394

Fram Endurance 4967 - had one left over and decided to use it since the leaf spring in the last one I cut open from the same batch didn’t look like a ruffles chip

Start them young so they too can have a weird oil hobby.

A quickie. 2017 VW Jetta GLI, 125K
Out:
Oil-Castrol Euro Car 0W-40 (via extraction)
Filter-Mann HU6013Z
In:
Same
Beer-Wicked Weed Perni-Haze

Picked up the car at my son's workplace and took it back to Pop's Garage for the change. Did all the ancillary stuff, fluid checks, tire pressure, windows cleaned etc., while the oil got all sucked up. Took the car back and enjoyed the beer and cigar at the lounge on my son's tab for "payment". Good boy, takes care of Dad.

VRP 5w-30 and Mobil1 filter (blue, shown next to oem Acdelco)
Valvoline 75w-90 for the rear differential.

No pictures of in process change.
2008 CRV with 247k mile.
Out - 900 mile - 3.5qts of Delo 5W-40 and 1 qt HPL PCMO 5W-30.
In - 5qts VRP 5W-20
Filter- Honda Filtech A01 drained and reused.
The color on dipstick looked just like this whether heat changing oxidants or stuff getting cleaned. Keep in mind that the previous OCI was same Delo/HPL. Prior to that was PP Euro-L and HPL, M1 with EC30, PP with EC30, a BG EPR flush probably 2 tears ago now.
