Bought two 5 gallon jugs of Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage from the local Walmart. $27 per + TAX on sale ($3.00 above online pricing because I live in Hawaii - don't get me started) so with the Pennzoil rebate it's gonna end up around $18.50 per jug. Not too bad.
Plan on putting this into my newly purchased 2011 Lexus RX 350 with 175,000 miles. I guess that's high enough mileage to use High Mileage oil, yes?

So you don't subscribe to the "Use only DW-1 fluid in Honda transmissions" dogma? I used Maxlife in a Camry with nice results but I chickened out with a CRV and paid a fair amount more to get the DW-1.
Did the Saturn yesterday. 92 degrees here. Out Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5w30 Wix 51522. In Mobil 1 High Mileage 10w30 AC Delco UPF61R. I didn’t like the looks of the last Wix 51522 filters I got. I do like the high end AC Delco filters I got from Rock Auto. I bought some PF35L’s for the Tempest. I bought 4-5 of each to spread out the $hipping.
Bought a 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor, equipped with the 3L Ecoboost 418HP V6, with c. 3000 miles on it.. As I often do, I initially over-researched what oil to use, but with my also-over-analyzer son helping, I 'settled' on RedLine 5w30.. Also decided to use Motorcraft filters.. Have the filters; oil will arrive tomorrow the 5th.

The Valvoline Restore and Protect in my 2009 Scion xB had been in there for six months and a little over 4k miles, and since it was the fill immediate after a piston soak I decided to freshen it up. I changed the filter at 1k and it was pretty filthy inside so I’ll be cutting open the one that went 3K to see how much carbon it caught.
The replacement was a frankenmix of three different 5w-20 synthetics I had in partial bottles and a Motorcraft FL-910S filter.

Been using it for years. Acura actually released a TSB for the DW1 overheating and breaking down causing a shudder. The dealer did the reprogram and fluid exchange and it never fixed it. At 30k miles I switched to Maxlife and never had the problem again. At 132k miles currently.
4 five quart jugs off Amazon

Found a smoking hot deal on some Pennzoil Platinum. Bought the last two jugs they had at $15 per. Evidently this store has decided to pull Pennzoil off the shelf except the syn blend variety. I normally run 0w20 in my “good” truck and 5w30 in the rest of our vehicles but for the money the truck will be happy with 5w20
Dang! Shame you bought the last two
Was there any 5w30 left or you buy all that?
Nice score and just messing sir
Good deal
