Post your latest oil change

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.

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 & 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 VRP 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.
