2013 Subaru Forester XT with 35050 miles
Drained M1 5W30 with about 4650 miles, removed blue Subie oil filter
Filled with M1 5W30 and a smidgen of QSUD 5W30 to top off, used NAPA Gold 7055 filter (same as Wix 57055 which I have found for about $2 cheaper at O'Reilly's)

Hyundai filter
out 3 qts M1 0w20 EP
in 3.5 qts M1 0w20 EP
9995 miles
added one qt M1 0w20EP and was 1/2 qt down when changed.
I thought the EP oil slowed down the consumption but it did not. Over the 9995m it used 1.5 qts of oil. Before with the 0w20 AFE and 7500m oci it used one qt.

Did this get anything out?
Yes I got some larger copper flakes out that must have been sitting for some time.
I really want to do a idle flush with some cheap dino, but not sure how much I'm comfortable with wasting time do this. I'm estimating 3 quarts of fresh oil while idling should be sufficient since it's a 4.5 quart system capacity and I would be leaving the filter on during such a flush. I don't think I'd like to risk it with only 2 quarts but I'm betting it would be fine.
I also took a sample for a uoa I'm tracking high lead/copper wear, but since my wifes been driving it I don't see any fine copper glitter in the drain anymore...I'm starting to believe my driving style is to blame for the high wear.

1967 VW Beetle
OUT: 3.5 qts. Delo 15w30, approx. 1920 miles
IN: 4 qts. Mag1 5w40 All-Fleet
FL400s filter not changed.
I drained the oil to change the sump plate gasket due to a significant leak. Decided to just put in new oil and use up the remaining gallon of Mag1 I had.
The Delo was horrible looking, very black and cruddy. I'll do a UOA if I can scrape up $16.00 for a kit from NAPA.

Hope you post that Beetle UOA! Looking forward to seeing it!
Weren't you singing the praises of Delo 15W/30 a few months back?

1983 Mercedes 240D 4 speed manual 259,770 miles on car.
out, Shell Rotella 5w-40 Mann oil filter
in, Shell Rotella 5w-40 Mann oil filter
6110 miles on oil, 2 Quarts of make up oil added during oil run.
Sent in a sample to Blackstone labs.
TBN left in oil-9.3
They said the next oil run should be 8,000 miles.
This was due to wear levels at 6,110 miles were in line with the universal average of 3,300 mile oil run. Soot level was at 0.9. Mercedes says not to go over 2.0% so this was less than half of that. That being said 12,000 miles should be able to run. Not a bad oil run!
