Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

Bosch cartridge €3, Castrol Edge V 0w-20 €40.
Castrol cannot label it as Fully synthetic in Germany, because it is not PAO base.
It is ACEA C5 standard, similar to Mobil 1 ESP for a hybrid Prius 3 engine in Corolla Station Wagon.

These are the real deal of PAO oil. Ravenol VSE ~65% PAO 1-Decene Homopolymer, and older version of Aral (BP subsidiary) 0w20 Porsche C20 Oil. They are too expensive, and now Aral make it a bit cheaper, but no longer labeled as Fully synthetic, just like its brother Castrol Edge.

I sold my 2010 Nissan Frontier to my BIL a year ago and learned a few days back that he hasn't changed the oil yet. I have borrowed the truck for a few days for camping and moving some things so I bought:

Supertech 5w40 Euro
Fram Extra Guard
Nissan crush washer

The Nissan guy at the dealership just gave it to me - didn't want to do the paperwork.
 
taking over care of a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse 3.6 VVT DI...picked up a Pentius PLXL 10575 to go with Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W-30 or
Mobil 1 Truck SUV in the same weight that I already have in inventory...

This Traverse has had regular oil changes with nothing showing over 4K miles since new...I may try a different oil VRP or Mobil 1 ESP to make sure it's clean inside but I feel I should also stay with the newest Dexos 1 gen3 unless my mind gets changed here... ;)

Three new filters for the Jeep Wrangler 3.6l V-6 because I plan to change much more frequently than I normally would because of metal chips and hair on the filter on the first oil change since owning it.

Hengst E721H D271 $3.21 USA
FVP G0010 CHINA $2.74 (I doubt I'll ever use this one)
Wix WL10010XP $7.64

Hengst looks like a very high quality MADE IN USA filter

That Hengst was a steal - used many of them on our old Cruze
