Ever Accidentally changed the oil in something too soon? Well, that was me today. In my mind, the oil in my generator had 24 hours of runtime from a past outage, plus a year and a half of 12 min test runs

I changed it, and jeez it looked so clean. Thankfully I did not change the filter too

I checked my logs, and as it turns out, this oil is from September 2025 and has just 10 hours on it. Whoops! Oh well, no harm but $15 in oil

5 Quarts of Kirkland 5W-30 out, and 5 back in. Generator is at 250 hours

That is a great photo. If I had that car, I would do a lot of preventative maintenance and take it to car shows.

Yea this was my first car, so over the years I have at some point touched every nut and bolt on this thing lol. I have done a ton of work over the years, the current engine is the 4th one I’ve built for the car lol. Kept all the original parts in case I ever want to make it all original again, even tho that will probably never happen hahaha.

Specs on the current power plant?

358ci Chevy small block, AFR aluminum heads, an old Holley single plane intake, comp roller cam, flat top pistons, this engine I built it in my garage and have never had it on a dyno, so I don’t technically know how much horse power it makes, but I guess based off the good old butt dyno, it’s somewhere around 500-600, but don’t technically know, so could be less. I shift at 7-7500 and it’s held together so far haha.

I have some Fram 5w-40 Euro oil, but which vehicle would be better to use it in? 2003 Odyssey or 2008 Ranger with the 2.3L? They both call for 5w-20.

Do you have VCM? Probably good for the Ranger but would work well in either.

No VCM, I believe 2005 was the first year those v6s got VCM. Thank you, I'll probably throw it in the truck for the summer months.

What would you guys run in this?

...and puhleeze don't say Valvoline Restore and Protect

I'd go with Mobil 1 0W-40 myself. MPG isn't a consideration here.

Factory fill of a 26 VW Taos - 1.5 L Turbo motor- was dumped today at 1000 miles after break-in completed. Refilled with Castrol Euro Car 0w20. The old oil looked darker than I would have expected. The engine seems quieter and smoother with the new oil, but it could all be in my head. The new oil goes in a bit dark as it is a darker green colour in virgin form, easy to read on the dipstick.

I was surprised to find out that you need to use a new oil pan drain bolt on each oil change as the washer does not come away from the drain bolt. This is a stupid system, and a waste of good drain bolts, why mess up a good thing by just replacing washers instead of a full bolt. I've read where you can cut off the washer and then use replaceable washers but I didn't want to mess up the bolt as I had no spares to work with. Never seen this in many years of changing oil.

Wife's new 2026 Honda Pilot. I HATE this car. 2nd least comfortable vehicle I've ever been in, engine sounds like an older VW TDI. Transmission acts like a CVT for the first 3 gears. What crap they're putting out now.

607mi. Used vacuum pump to suck out the 0w-20 factory fill & put in Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. Left factory filter on.

I'd be happy if this thing spontaneously combusts & can be replaced with something decent like a 10yr old 4Runner or Sequoia.
