First car: 1968 Plymouth Fury III, first change by me about 1975. Used Gulf Oil or Quaker State. The inside of those valve covers must have had 1/2" of tar like build up in them. Still ran strong anyway.
What was your first oil change ever?

i changed the oil on a 1982 ford courier pick up, 2.3L

we kept that truck for 200,000 miles (with little repairs) and still saw it driving around town years after we sold it.

1987 Ford Mustang 5.0 Notchback... Valvoline VR1 20W-50. Car should of taken 5W-30. Obviously, I was one of those guys who thought thicker was better
My first oil change was in 1963 on a 1962 Chevy II Nova. I used DX 10W30 oil and an AC Delco filter.
My 97 cavalier, when I got it from my grandfather. Also when I joined BITOG. Valvoline Maxlife Blend 10W-40 and a PureONE filter, and a Tranny pan drop and fluid/filter change.
First oil change was a 1965 Triumph TR-4. I remember it had a canister filter.
Otherwise it was a piece of british junk. Taught me a lot about fixing cars!

A 1989 Ford Probe GT. Castrol GTX and a Fram filter... a combo that never happened again.
Motorcycle: my brother's early '60-something 650 Triumph ("bored out to 710cc") with Castrol (but not GTX: that didn't come along 'til 1968, or so...). I don't think it even had a filter.
Car: 1963 Plymouth Valient Signet 200 ragtop, 225 slant-6, pushbutton Torqueflite: oil was probably Pennzoil yellow cans, a MoPar filter, and a tranny service including filter and a new pan gasket!
Both circa 1965.
Cheers!

The car in which I learned to drive, 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 (see signature); sometime in 1971. Used Valvoline SAE 30 and Ford C1AZ-6731A (aka FL1-A) oil filter; can't remember when the Autolite brand switched to Motorcraft though. My dad bought the car brand new and gave it to me; his grandson and I drove it 2200 miles home this past June.

I always loved the looks of those trucks.

Did my first one back in about 1980. Dad let me drive the 1973 Grand Torino Sport. Used Pennzoil 10w-40 and a crummy Fram from what I can recall. The oil was in a paper can with a metal top and bottom. Had to use one of those sharp puncture type steel funnels.
I was always helping my Dad or brothers until I got my license. Then I started wrenching on my 84 Mazda 626. But my first OC was on my parent's 84 Caravan.

My first car was a white '93 Pontiac Lemans hatchback. First oil change I did myself was 4.5 quarts Castrol GTX 10W30 and a Powerflo filter. Why do I remember that? Because I'm a huge nerd.

If you were a TRUE nerd would have remembered what API spec the oil was
