2018 Toyota Tacoma off-road 4x4 95594 miles
Out Mobil 1 0w40 FS and a fram extended guard filter see pics
Oil had 6 months and 3000 miles of fairly severe use. My wife would use the truck around town mostly short trips and I took it on several trips down the seashore fishing (think 300 miles loaded and fast highway and 120 miles 4x4 when 6 or 7 times. where it got alot of 4 low action churning deep sand, the sand was softer than normal this summer do to low tropical activity.
The filter had 15 months on it and about 6-7kmiles the filter element itself looked great the o ring was flaking apart. The outside was the orange material but the orange was flaking off and it was black inside. This happened outside the oil stream but first time I have seen this took a pic.
In 6.5 qts Valvoline Restore and Protect 0w20 and a Fram tough guard filter cartridge. Again a good looking element. My original plastic cartridge canister is still a solid unit.
Plan on running this for 6 mo then running Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 this summer.
I also had the front brakes replaced done this week (been working too much) when I had it in to have the ac condenser replaced. $$$
If I have time I want to change front diff fluid but need to do some work.
Also I am about to Toss this vacuum pump too slow and finicky. I went ahead and pulled the drain plug.

Yes I had a stockpile of it but used it up
There was nothing on the shelf to re-up
So for this round I went with the high mileage only because it was the only thing wally had in single quarts for my makeup oil
I will say that even the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV was consumed at the " normal " amount per mileage as was the AC Delco ( Mobil bottled) oils
Also this is my first time buying high mileage anything .....

Valvoline was a road trip oil change done during a repair and wasn't destined to be a full OCI run, plus winter is coming so I wanted to get the better oil in now.

Out: Mobil 1 0w40 FS, Fram Pro 9954 filter
In: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30, Fram Pro 9954
Started consuming a bit of oil again since the piston soak at 70k ~.5 - 1 qt over the OCI so I figured I give the R&P a try.

Why Import and not Dexos? Just curious.
Lots of driving and commuting last couple months, already due for a 5k mile OCI. Previously said I would run the Castrol EDGE Extended Performance a little longer but changed my mind... a bunch of start-stop traffic, up and down hills, etc.

Also changed swapped a Fram engine filter for a Microgard Select engine filter (after 15,000 miles).

Nice choice of the SuperTech High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30.
I've been using that SuperTech High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30 oil as well @ 5,000 mile / 6 month OCI on 3 Honda Odysseys
that have extremely high engine temps on the cylinder heads due to the VCM being enabled and a poorly designed PCV.
Good luck - Maybe you can go another 150k miles and reach 400k+ miles.
03' Solara / 2AZ-FE / out with 3k synthetic Pennzoil 5W30 and Toyota filter. In with Frankenblend of Mobil 1 synthetic and Super Tech synthetic 5W30, with a Toyota filter. For some reason had leftover oil in both containers on the shelf. Made some shelf room 
Because Import was being clearanced and is the same as the "Domestic" that carried the D1G3 license, but Shell did not submit it for licensing due to cost.
