Post your latest oil change

[VolvoZ]

This is oil change #41 on the 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L (VCM active) with 212.3 K miles.
Out: Rotella Gas Truck 5w30
In: Valvoline Modern Engine 5W30
OCI mileage: 5000 miles
Filter out: Fram Ultra (older version with 20K rating) came off. Prior oil change included 8 oz of Rislone. Wanted to see if filter had sludgy coating on it. It did, but not as much as prior since it was less mileage and less concentration of Rislone. Hated to replace the Ultra so early in it’s life, but sacrificed it for science. Filter looked excellent.
Filter in: Ecogard X4610. Will cut and post next oil change.
OLM: 40% remaining on OLM, but just changed to 30% a few miles after the oil change (didn’t get to reset it right away).

OLM drops 10% for every 660 miles roughly when driven on long roadtrips.

Engine was fantastic on the 3000+ mile trip to FL and back to MA. Got 24-25 mpg.

My oldest son (16) just bought his first vehicle. He’s been working for the last year and a half or so to save up for it. This is the first oil change on it.

I think we pay some company to remove the used oil, I think either 300 or 700 bucks per 500 gal.

It's gonna go up here soon if not already with the situation in the Middle East. Supertech needs your used oil!

Glad I stocked up about six months ago, in spite of current price now, but at least you can still get it, ( for now), the situation may get more tight and sparce yet $$ to come.

Going up on the ramps might have changed the front suspension and it didn't settle back like it normally would be. If I put the front end up, I drive it around the block a few times then park it back in the garage to ensure the front suspension is settled back to normal.

Makes no difference though. Book says 4.2 with filter, dipstick says 5.

Aaaah, thought it was the level changing between two different checks. I always go by the dipstick or sight window on my stuff. I consider the volumes in the OMs just a rough starting point.

Good idea. I've checked it in a different location after a quick trip and then letting it sit. It is a strange one.

What's that leak from? Steering rack? I can't tell.

A while back I posted a previous oil change I did and someone commented on how the filter was in a bad spot and oil must go everywhere and make a mess. I told them about the little spout that directs the oil into the drain pan. That pic is of the spout doing its job.
