Post your latest oil change

Pennzoil motor oil
Changed oil. 178K miles first time using 30 weight oil on my 2018 Ram 1500 with the 3.6L. Always used 0w20 year round since new. Figured why not? Most say it can't hurt and many say it protects a little more. Also first time using Amsoil motor oil. I use it on most other components but consider it a bit overpriced for motor oil. Just wanted to give it a shot. It sounds happy.
I've had the same drainplug for 8 years and thought I 'd order a new one. Ordered one on Amazon with a magnetic tip and 4 copper crush washers. Good fit.
M14x1.5 Magnetic Oil Drain Plug,Strong Magnetic Stainless Steel Oil Drain Nut Pan Bolt with 5PCS Copper Crush Washer Gasket to Prevent Leakage, Fits for Most Cars, Motorcycles, and Boats $6.99

Changed oil on friend’s 2014 Toyota RAV4. 155,000 on the clock.
Out: Mobil1 ESP 0W20 X2 and Mobil 1 filter.
In: Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W20 and Toyota filter.
The engine always consumed oil since they bought it with some 120k miles. There is small leak on VCG, but not that much to amount to some 1qt every 1-2k.
So, let’s try Valvoline Restore and Protect and see what happens.
 
2018 Toyota Sequoia, 92,600 miles.
Out: Motul X-Clean+ 0W30 EFE 7,500 OCI, CarQuest Premium filter.
In: Mobil 1 ESP 0W30, CarQuest Filter

CarQuest Premium Filter after 7,500 miles. I have seen less distortion on OE Toyota filters. Maybe next time will run OE filter. On BMW which also has cartridge filter, there is absolutely no distortion running Hengst oil filters. Maybe I try to find Hengst for Toyota and try it.

have you had experience with CQP filters distorting before? I haven't run them and have a Toyota V8 that takes them.

This is first time I am running them. I ran OE, Mobil 1.
From my understanding they should be of good quality. I got them when they had sale of Castrol Edge 0W30. But, not sure they add any value over OE.

Few weeks ago: 2015 Ram 1500 5.7 117,737 miles
Out: 8 qts Pennzoil Platinum 0w30 PCMO, Fram Endurance 8A (remote oil filter kit with larger filter) - 3,054 miles @ 18 months
In: 7qts Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, Carquest Premium EP P84060 (removed remote filter, prepping for sale)

Today: 2009 Honda Accord 2.4 5MT 164,208 miles
Out: 5qts 5W-30 Valvoline Restore and Protect (2nd run, no make up oil), Carquest Premium 84356 - 5,201 miles
In: 5qts 5W-30 Valvoline Restore and Protect (3rd run), Carquest Premium 84356

Fumoto valves on both make oil changes pretty slick, but I'd forgotten how much the factory oil filter location sucks on the Hemi.

Well I dropped the oil from the Ram today after a whopping 404 miles.. One camping trip pulling our trailer and the engine seemed to be more...chatty? I didn't like it, so it came out and I swapped to Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 and back to a bigger filter. Turns out trucks for an upgrade are stupid expensive and we aren't willing to jump on large payments right now so it's staying. Engine seems quieter but we'll see next weekend for the next trip how it sounds.

Out: 7qts Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, Carquest Premium EP P84060 (404 mi on oil)
In: 8 qts Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30, Fram Endurance FE8A (reinstalled remote oil filter)
