Well we’re at 7 months ish since I did a fill of HPL 15w40 CK4 in the crown vic I’ll be changing the oil tomorrow and will take a new photo of my oil fill hole and we can see if any change has occurred over the 7 months

My son's 2009 328i has been run on BMW TPT 5W-30 or BMW TPT 0W-30 since new- with a minimum OCI of 15,000 miles. This photo was taken at 108,500 miles:

I’ll go first 2010 Ford Crown Vic 4.6 V8 118k miles on the clock with unknown past maintenance history other than that it was a local department cruiser ran a round of amsoil, Valvoline EP, Valvoline PBE and now HPL 15w40 CK4

9700 miles on a fill of HPL 15w40 CK4 running a Fram Ultra. New fill is HPL 5w40 CK4 and a Fram Titanium, build date is august of last year and its wire backed which isn’t so much a concern but the recent Ultras just don’t look as well put together so will likely be using the Titanium’s until further notice. Any who here’s the updated fill hole picture, will update again sometime around august when I go to change it for fall and winter should be another 10k miles by then

N52

127k miles

I just bought it 6 months ago, so I can't speak for the OCI.

I used Mobil 1 0w-40 when I bought it

We’re at 4K miles on the second fill of HPL HDEO CK4, the Crown Vic is burning almost zero oil as the oil level doesn’t appear to have budged, current oil filter is a Fram Titanium with Wire mesh, it appears to be cleaning from what I can see slowly but surely here’s some updated photos
