Post your latest oil change

[CleanSump]

Kia uses Total Energies Quartz oil (never heard of it but there's a few posts here about them).

You may know Total under the old name Elf from Formula 1 and ROW racing. The ELF signs were everywhere on the courses. They sponsor some teams and make quality products. They just don't advertise much in North America.

2024 Toyota Tundra 30K

Out dealer bulk 0W20
In Mobil One EP 5W30 5 qrts and 2.5 qrts EP 0W20. Both are the 25K version. I was surprised how quickly oil pressure builded up vs just the 0W20. Seems quiter too.

I’m running this combo till all the 0W20 is used.

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.

I was referring to all of that.

Oh, that is from when the spout didn’t do its job.

Gates timing belt is a good belt, but you should know the water pump, tensioners etc. everything else in the kit is the cheapest, lowest quality Chinese parts they can get their hands on. I would avoid.

Tnx. Good to know to next time.
I use to go with SKF kits but now it was short in stock so i ordered the GATES kit.

Mileage on OCI?

No idea.. but when I started driving it 1k ago it was at 51%. All I did was highway. 3-4k I'd guess.

2013 Scion XD. Approx. 82k mi. OCI, about 9 mo. and 2600 mi.

Out: Valvoline Advanced 0W20 and Beck-Arnley filter.
In: Unknown private garage bulk 0W20 and filter.

After almost 60 years of driving, my health has degraded to poor (somewhat gradually) and on oxygen 24/7, so no more vehicle work for me. I paid about $95. as a side job on an annual state inspection at a trusted local garage. Oil and filter are unknown. Labor end was about $50. while on lift for state inspection. Sad days.
