1970 on my 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II with the 225 slant six and three on the tree. I remember I used Sears 10w-40 back then.
2013, on a BMW 330i at work. since then I've changed oil on a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351C, a 1968 Chevy Corvette 468ci (at work), as well as the truck in my signature.

Probably around 1989 or 1990 on a lawn tractor.
2006, on my dads '06 Cummins which is now my truck. I was 15, didnt really know much about trucks, Ive come a very long way since then. diesel mechanic and diesel truck fanatic. i remember that oci because my dad told me to pull the plug and drain it, he walked away and went grab something. Well, when he came back, he was screaming cause I had unknowingly put a bucket too small under the pan, oil all over the driveway and my hair was completely covered in oil.(i was laying next to the bucket not paying attention) Lets just say i had to wash my hair with dawn soap about 5 times lol. first oci i did completely by myself was November 2010, on my '02 Altima, i used PYB 5W30 and a P1 filter. Dealer had changed it before, it took a 15 inch breaker bar to get the plug off and a screwdriver through the filter to get it off. I also faintly remember helping my dad change the oil in his '99 chevy back in 2002 or so. Ive probably done literally 500 oil changes since 2010.
93-94 on my parents Plymouth grand voyager.. Pyb and fram filter.
1970
'94ish on a New Yorker... several years before I got a license.

You're still a young buck.
By 1989 and 1990, I was topping up my very thirsty LTD with 5w-30 GTX just about every week.

IIRC, '68
I believe it was 1974. That was when I took my 1964 Chevy II up a very rocky mountain road. In fact it was fondly called the Rocky Dugway. On the way down, I was going way too fast, and the very worn out front shocks compressed too much in a dip, resulting in the oil pan making contact with a sharp rock. Punctured the oil pan. Coasted most of the way home.
My dad made me buy and install the replacement oil pan.
