Post your latest oil change

Three of the plugs are easy. It’s the one that needs the correct combination of socket, extension, and universal. You’ll need to remove the air box, battery, and battery tray.
I appreciate you highlighting the specific challenges, especially with the plug that requires the correct combination. I'll make sure to take my time with that one. Thanks again for the helpful hints. Looks like I’ll be getting to know my car better than I thought.

Out: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30, Beck-Arnley filter

In: Same

Did a short change due to not getting to a much earlier filter only change. Oil was getting dark, similar to 4k + changes with other oils. First Valvoline Restore and Protect use last fill. Did 4 consecutive PUP changes prior.

So far, oil consumption has gone from approx. Qt. Per 1200 mi. To Qt. per 2800i.

This was a LOOOOOONGG OCI time-wise. I last changed the oil in this car back in October 2022 although I only put just over 3000 miles on it since then. It does sit in a relatively dry garage and when I do drive it, the trips are properly long to get everything flowing well.

2020 Ford Ranger. Hit 100,000 miles this week.
New tires this morning and changed the oil when I got home.
Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 and Mobil 1 M1-209A filter, FL-400S equivalent, larger than the OE FL-910S.
Been using Valvoline Advanced but Walmart had the Restore and Protect so I thought I'd try it. I change the oil every 5k so it doesn't matter a lot what oil I use.
