Will hopefully be this weekend at my inlaws' while "he's" up in the air getting a wheel hub assembly replaced.

5w30 PY, Qs, and O'Reilly regular mixture since that's what I have on hand.
 
Wife's 2009 Torrent GXP: 5.5 qts of Havoline Synthetic 5w-30, SM rated, and a Fram 10060 Extended Guard filter.

I ran the OLM down to 29% (6925 miles OCI), and the high feature V6 had no detectable oil consumption over that period.

99 S-10: 1 quart Pennzoil 5w-30 synthetic SJ rated ( the old stuff with Pennzane ), 2 quarts Pennzoil 5w-30 synthetic SL rated, and 1 quart Havoline 5w-30 SM rated mineral oil, and a SuperTech ST3387A filter. This got rid of some old odds and ends I had lying around.
 
My 2008 Pontiac G8: 7 qts Havoline Synthetic 5w-30, SM rated, and an AC PF2919 cartridge filter.

I ran the OLM down to 44% (5067 miles OCI), and the high feature V6 had no detectable oil consumption over that period. The oil I replaced was SL/GF-3 rated and I was uncomfortable going more than 5K miles on it.

This is the last of my Havoline synthetic stash from the great Advance Auto Parts $1/quart blowout.

The only non-synthetic I use is in the lawnmower. :)Can you guess which car is mine?
The key words to my busy driveway? Rhino ramps.
 
'97 Aerostar, Tuesday.
168K.
Second run of Havoline 10W-40 DS, bought on clearance last spring from Wally, Puro classic filter.
Was going to use either Tection 15W-40 or Maxlife 10W-30, but decided to run through the three changes of the Havoline I have.
I will then go through the four changes of Maxlife I have on hand.
The thing has used more oil than it has in the past for the past two changes.
This may just be age and miles, but I will check out the PCV system and see what I find.
 
2009 Solstice: 5 qts GTX 5-30 SM rated mineral oil and a Purolator Classic filter (L15436?).

Car has about 2.5K miles on it, previous oil in the sump was about 10 months old.
