Post your latest oil change

2019 Honda Pilot EX-L. Just got back a couple days ago from a 5 day, 1080 mile round trip to VA to visit my son.

78,216 miles on the motor.
5,664 miles on the oil.

Out - approximately 5.25 qts Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 and Premium Guard PG4612EX
In - 5.25 qts Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 and another pre-filled Premium Guard PG4612EX

Slightly different angle I guess this time as 5.25qts brought it to about 1/16" under full line. I checked it hot at the gas station, same pump, same as I do frequently with all my cars. Dipstick gets pulled, wiped and left out while I fill up so about 5 minutes to let it drain from tube before reinsert and check 1 time.

Bonus picture- my transmission fluid is disgusting. Transmission got very hot multiple times over the past couple months. It won't get changed until 82k and dealer will do it like last time. Letting them document the issues and changes as warranty coverage is until November 2026. The top spot is current, spot on right is sample dealer pulled at 52k, left spot is some new Hyundai fluid nice and pink/red like the Honda DW-1 and VML is when it is new.

Sister's 2004 Toyota Kluger (Highlander)
188k kms (116k miles)
12000kms (7500 miles) since last

Out: Penrite HPR5 5W-40
In: Valvoline Restore and Protect 10W-40

Out: Ryco Z418
In: JS Asakashi C111T

First time using Valvoline Restore and Protect, I was able to get Supercheap Auto to price match down from $102 to $58 for a 6L bottle
(New Zealand market for oil is pretty over-priced due to a lack of competition)

Interesting it does have a different smell to most motor oil I've used.

When I did the timing belt job on this engine last year I noticed some deposits in valve train area so maybe this can clean it up a bit.

I used one of those Toyota genuine factory drain bolt washers - aluminum with blue fiber glued on both sides... they seem dodgy somehow like you have to check drain bolt tightness after a few heat cycles...

How's the gas mileage ? Seen one in the showroom of a KIA dealer when buying the '25 SOUL LX and was impressed with the room inside , etc.
