In terms of an oil change, I mean.

I have Peak conventional 5w30 with an STP filter for the Saturn which I got for dirt cheap..

And today I bought Mobil 1 5w-20 with Mobil 1 filter for the Mustang for a decent price. (see my nyc autozone ad in rebate section if interested).

I'm also gonna do something with PEA in it for the fuel.

And, if I can afford it, a nice polish wax for both.
 
I am going to change the oil in the Toyota Yaris with 5w30 maxlife syn blend when the semester ends in May.

I am at 39100 miles right now, and my last oil change was on 10/23/11 at 35000 miles. Looks like it will be more than 6 months...
 
The Saturn is getting Pennzoil Ultra 5w30 and a Bosch D+ filter, for about 7-8k.
The Kia is getting NextGen 5w30 and a Purolator Classic filter, for about 5k.

Then it should be fall, and both cars will be getting Quaker State Ultimate Durability, and some Napa Golds or P1s.
 
Picking up a 1995 Mustang GT soon from a friend of mine. Asked him when he did the oil change last and he said "sometime last year maybe." Should be fun.
 
i have a case of FS syn and two distance+ filters....but i dont know if i will have the miles before summer is over. i plan on running the explorer out to 7500 and the f150 to at least 5k before i change and neither one is up to 2k yet.
 
I have 5 qts of quaker state defy 5w30 and i need 1 more quart so im thinking about either buying another quart of 5w30 or 1 quart of 10w-40 making it 6 quarts for my summer OCI . Ill be running a P1 30001 again.

Im going to buy a different transmission fluid pan thats 1 quart larger and has a drain plug built in so then ill be able to change fluid without doing the filter. probably change the fluid 1 time a year (about 12k miles) and the filter every 30-40k miles.

going to wax the [censored] out of it and pull the top and doors off as much as weather lets me

G-Oil 5w30 for my 03 Ranger, Pennzoil Ultra 5w20 for our 08 Liberty and Kendall Semi Synthetic 5w30 for the 00 Cherokee Sport.

Lots of "Small" things to do on the Ranger and the Cherokee.

I am +1 on the PU for my gas vehicle. The Cummins diesel gets Rotella T. I have a mix of Bosch D+ and Mobil 1 filters.

A WIX transmission filter for my Dodge Ram, along with a Magnefine.

A WIX air filter for the Jeep GC.

Amsoil ATF and Severe Gear Oil for the Dodge Ram also.

Lots of "tractor and hydraulic oil" for the Bobcat along with some oil-dry for the leaked oil under it.
 
With the gas prices my car and pickup aren't going to be driven enough to need an oil change anytime soon. The wife's Accord will be getting a summer fill of Pentosin High Performance 5w30 replacing the 0W20 PP. PureOne filter.
 
The Forester is next up for an oil change.
It will get Synpower 10w30 and either a P1 or a D+.
I will UOA that run.
The BMW will be next, and will get another run of Maxlife and a Puro cartridge.
I will UOA that run.
Later on, the older Accord will get Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and a P1, while the Impreza will get Maxlife 10w30 and a Puro Classic.
The newer Accord will get, in late summer, Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 and a D+.
 
Will probably change oil in early June.

For my 02 Dakota 3.9 V6:
10w30 oil, either Havoline or Formula Shell.
NAPA Gold 1085 filter.

For Mom's 08 Crown Vic:
5w20 oil, probably TropArtic.
Filter, MotorCraft.
 
Even though my sig says differently (that's not actually in the sump, just what I planned to install for the summer OCI), I am going to go a little crazy and try this mix;

3 qts. of Red Line 0W-40
+
2 qts. (liters actually
wink.gif
) of Motul 300V High RPM 0W-20
+
1 qt. of Sustina 0W-20

+ Either another EaO 64, or I might just try the new NAPA Platinum in the eqivalent size.

OH YEAH!!
 
My current fill is: 3qts Toyota 0W20 sm + 1qt Amsoil 0W20 with a Royal Purple oil filter, 9000 km on it but I think of replacing it with Chatham's blend. Fill will be 65% Toyota 0W20 and 35% Mobil 0W40 with a Fram XG 9688 oil filter.

I think of running the current Royal Purple filter another 15000 km and then do a partical count on the oil. I'm interested in seeing how well the RP will do in this OCI.
 
I changed the oil in my wife's Outback (7450 miles since the last change) and my Elantra (8110 miles since the last change) last Saturday. I used Pennzoil conventional in both-5w30 for the Subaru and 5W-20 for the Elantra. It was on sale at a local farm store when I bought it a couple weeks ago-around $19.00 for the 5+ quart container. Combine that with a Baldwin filter and each oil change is about $25.00.

I changed the pickup last fall and it has less than 2,000 miles on the current oil so I won't change it for another 6 months.

I'll change all 4 tractors this weekend with Rotella 15w40 (6 quarts each). I'll pick it up on Friday, and I purchased the filters when I bought the Baldwin's for the cars.

The JD 757 was changed last fall before I put it away for the winter, so it needs nothing.

The JD 210 was changed last summer and only has 4 hours or so on it, so I'll leave it in until sometime in June or July.

The DR trimmer, pressure washer and tiller were all changed last fall before they were put away, so I won't change them again until September or October.
 
Just changed my accord from Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 to chevron supreme synthetic. Gonna change the wifes camry with Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 again before we leave for vacation in a couple weeks. My truck has Pennzoil Platinum and I have enough is stash for 1 more change of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 before I switch it over to chevron supreme synthetic 5w-20, but that probably wont be until this fall because gas prices are so high it aint moving! Gonna try some valvoline atv 10w-40 in the wheelers for the summer riding season, since M1 4T is $12 per quart!
