Post your latest oil change

Three weeks ago. Maintenance garage changed the oil on my lease car.

2011 Ford Galaxy 2.0 tdci Powershift Auto (basically a twin clutch automated manual like VAG DSG)

Out: Castrol Magnatec 5w30 C3, unknown filter but everything else is Ford only parts so I suspect a Ford/Motorcraft

In: Castrol Magnatec 5w30 C3

50230 miles
10000 miles on the oil, serviced every 10k miles. (Ford interval is 12,500 or 1 year.)

Vehicle now has 53450 miles.
 
Did the yearly oil changes on mom and dad'd vehicles this afternoon. Don't drive much so once a year does it for them.

2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5 NA: Out 4.2 Quarts PU 5W-30 and Pureone PL14612 filter.... In 4.2 Quarts PU 5W-30 and Pureone PL14612 filter.

(Call me consistent.)

2006 Chevy Colorado 2.8 4 cyl.: Out 5 Quarts QSUD 5W-30 and Pureone PL14006 filter.... In 5 Quarts QSUD 5W-30 and Purolator Classic L14006 filter.

(Had to change a little something up.)

Both vehicles had around 5K since last change early last fall. No oil usage all normal and as it should have been.
 
2001 Mazda 626 V6
129,000 miles

Out: Castrol GTX HM 10w30 + Denso OEM Filter
In: Castrol GTX HM 10w30 + Denso OEM Filter

Miles on oil: 4,000

This is my 4th run of the Castrol HM oil. I've been very happy with it. My rear main seal is still weaping/leaking, but the leak has reduced quite a bit. Over the past 4,000 miles i only added 1/2 quart of oil. Considering the age of the car, i can certainly live with that.

For both the Honda and 3, I'm going to use:

4qts of AFE + 1qt of Mobil 1 HM 5w30.

This raises the HT/HS to 2.82 and bumpes the ZDP from 650ppm to 720ppm.

And you get a tad bit more seal conditioner.
 
2005 Honda Civic EX Auto (D17A2)

Out: TGMO SN 0W-20/Wix 51356
In: TGMO SN 0W-20/Denso 150-1009

Miles: OCI:8,320, Total:64,525

Sample taken. UOA will be shared when received.
 
Used 1 quart Valvoline, 2 quarts PYB, and two of NAPA Synthetic, plus one of O'Reilly Red Bottle SL grade for older cars.

All are SM grade except the O'Reilly. All are 5W-30.

Put them in the Beast with a Fram PH8A Orange Can of Death.

I needed to use up that OCOD filter so it is fastened to the engine like some terrible xenomorph face-hugger right now.
