'97 MB C230, w/ 2.3 liter 4-cylinder, normally-aspirated
77,750 miles
10W-30 TropArtic synthetic blend, 4 months/3200 miles on it today
Mann filter; 6-qt. sump

Plan: Change this weekend to 40/60 mix of Delo 15W-40/Havoline 5W-30, plus new filter. Run for 4 or 5 months/3200 to 4000 miles through the vicious Louisiana summer. Change back to TropArtic (I have a stash!) in early October or November.

Presuming, of course, I don't have to escape another hurricane like Katrina.

[Matt_S]

'05 Buick Terraza - PP 5w-30 w/ Advanced Auto oversize filter bought for $1.24
'00 Chevy Monte Carlo - M1 5w-30 w/ same filter as the Buick

The OLM has been reminding me to change the oil on the Chevy for the past week. Hopefully I'll get to that this weekend. It'll get more M1 5w-30 when I do it. It's very convenient having both cars using the same filter now.
