I now have 153k miles on this car, with zero mechanical issues. Oil is never run less than 5k miles, and I've been over 10k once or twice. I've run 5w-30 QS Syn more than anything, 5w-20 a close 2nd, and this winter I finally dropped in 0w-20. Next UOA coming this spring using the 0w-20.

All sorts of QS oils. From the generic green bottle, to the various "full synthetic" bottles. I bought whatever was on sale with rebates at Menards for over a decade and ran it in nearly everything.

A real 50/50 mix. From near daily stop and go rush hour, to casual highway trips, and a few multi-state trips.
 
Impressive. Thanks for posting. Do you recall or have record of the oil used for the first UOA @ 33,300mi and 6300 oci?

Did you ever have a UOA done on the 5w-30?
 
Actually looks like the add packs are similar, so probably the same oil.

2006 was before Valvoline switched to a sodium based detergent and dispersant additive pack.
