Post your latest oil change

Just wow!!! Almost a 30k OCI? Any make up oil? I’d love to see a used oil analysis of this OCI.
There was no makeup oil needed, with steady, fine smelling dipstick readings.

See my threads for used oil analysis with gradually extended OCIs.

@High Performance Lubricants and I agreed there was nothing left to prove, other than I could have done 40k mile OCIs !

This works perfectly for my driving conditions.

With extended OCIs, High Performance Lubricants provides both exceptional protection and greatest value.
 
2024 Toyota Tacoma 2.4T hybrid
15.5k miles
3/4 fill with TGMO 0w-20, 1/4 fill with mobil 1 5w-30
Toyota filter
Fumoto drain valve installed.

I came here just to say this. I’m making a guess that the oil chemistries are similar, if you’re picky about such things. The 1.5 quarts of 5-30 is a very significant change for this truck. It likes to run at low rpm’s, like 55 mph uphill at 1400 rpm, which you’d FEEL in the 4 cylinder. It was rough and thrashy even. This modest increase in VI is a significant change in NVH at the low-rpm pulls. Significant. It just went from sounding like a Subaru 4 to something much smoother and refined. I’ve never seen such a small change make such a big difference.

2021 Sierra 1500 AT4 with 88,036 miles. Last OCI at 83,013 on 10/17/2025.

Out: Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 and Carquest Premium
In: Same

Changed OEM fuel filter with a Carquest red from RA clearance. I’ve been doing 20k mile changes, but I’m thinking the 30k OEM rec might be just fine based on looks of the filter. Any input would be appreciated.

Oh, also installed a gold plug

2013 Ford fiesta 1.6liter

Out. Castrol Magnatec 5w20, white supertech 3614

In. 1.5 quarts Valvoline 5w20 white bottle, 3 quarts Napa 5w20 syn blend and a Purolator tech 10241
Another change on this car.

Out with the above

In. 4 quarts super tech 5w20 full syn and half a quart of formulashell 5w20 to get it to the full mark.

New purolator tech 10241 put on.
 
2018 VW Golf Sportwagen. Tuned/making >2x stock power (~400 vs. ~170 out of a 1.8 L turbo 4). 122,920 mi odo. 4,849 mi OCI. 3x track days, 2x autocross. All catch can contents dumped back in except condensation when I had it (morning after a track day typically).

Also changed out my aluminum oil pan/oil pan gasket/one-time use bolts (20) and oil level sensor seal; just haven't been happy since this was installed several years ago, always seems to have some weeping. Comes with a mag drain plug. Also ran a can of Liquimoly DI Jectron as usual prior to the change. Collected sample for Blackstone as usual to updatre my legendary table/graph for this car. Curious this change mainly on the wear metals/Si w/r to the Uni pre-filter I ran for this change. I didn't note any dust like I had noted before in the intake hose so fingers crossed this sorted it. I added ~1/2 qt over this change from the track use, normal consumption. For street use I don't note any consumption on this car, last I checked compression about 6 mos. ago it showed 180psi across all 4 cylinders. Note this car didn't have a break-in oil change; first OCI was around ~8K miles. I didn't note anything in the filter. Bottom end is v. clean. Box of returns to FCP filling up.

Out: 6 qts High Performance Lubricants (HPL) Euro 5W-40, Mann filter

In: 6 qts HPL Euro 5W-40, Mann filter

2008 CR-V LX, 66,714 miles, probably 5-6K OCI; minder at 50%
I helped a single Mom get this CR-V in November; this is the 1st service I've done.
Out: clean oil, Mighty filter
In: Quaker State High Mileage 5w30, Ecogard filter

Pulled a wheel; pads/rotors look great; Air and cabin filters look new. I did service the transmission before I gave it to Elsa.
This is probably the cleanest 2008ish vehicle I ever worked on. Even the lugs spun on easily by hand; no gorilla air gun damage.
Used CR-Vs tend to be well used. This one ain't. She loves it!

2017 Toyota Camry 114,433 miles. Almost 7,000 on oil it’s been cold and dad has been door dashing so went a bit over. We do 5,000 mile oil changes.
Out: 5 quarts Castrol GTX High Mileage 0W-20
Off: Toyota 90915-YZZA1
In: 5 quarts Quaker State 0W20 High Mileage
On: Fram CH9972

I had bought a Toyota filter at work and new drain plug gasket but went off and forgot them on Friday so instead of driving 30 miles to get it I just went 5 miles to Walmart and got one and the oil.

Dad was hesitant to buy Quaker State but wanted to save money. I told him Quaker State will be just fine in there. He said back in the 70s it was really bad not sure what his basis is but I know it will be fine.

Your dad was remembering right.

My daughters '08 has almost 4x that mileage (252k). Is Elsa's 2WD or AWD?
