Post your latest oil change

2003 Toyota Corolla:

Out - Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30/ Supertech Filter.
In- Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30/ Premium Guard Filter.

271,006 miles. About 4500 miles on this fill.

What went in was the third interval of this oil. So far to date, the oil consumption of about 3/4 to 1 qt per 5,000 remains the same. 9500 mi total on VRP. Very early on into the first interval, a startup noise after sitting was eliminated, likely due to the timing chain tensioner solenoid being dirty. Very pleased so far, hoping this or the 4th oil change will start reducing oil consumption, although I can live with it.

2023 large isuzu box truck/ isuzu FTR. 6.7 Cummins, Fleetguard engine oil and fuel filter, 18 quarts 15w40 argos engine oil. Shell red grease.

Mobile service with travel time.

Miles on vehicle and OCI? I’m sure it’s a hard working truck.

I’d use VRP for the remainder of this cars life. It clearly deserves it and you will be the beneficiary!

Lately I've noticed lots of posts with no OCI mileage and/or vehicle miles entered. Or no what came out and off.
Like, why bother to post?

Some other info i'd like to see is why they chose the products they did.

I read it as the poster is a traveling tech who was called to change the oil on the truck. Probably doesn't know the OCI, or care about the mileage.

Argos is the Advance house brand. Was probably there for the filter and picked up what was cheap.
