Post your latest oil change

Changed my 1995 Subaru oil, yesterday, at almost 188K miles after getting back from a trip to California. Store brand (O'Reilly) filter and the following blend, approximately:

1.0 qts 10w40; Kendal Semi-Synth
1.6 qts 5w30; Wally World Full Synth
1.6 qts 10w30; store brand (O'reilly) High Mileage (conv?)
plus, additives: half a bottle of Lubro moly, and 1 to 2 oz of TB Zinc.
 
Sister-in-law's car:

2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue 3.5 V6: 162,000 mi

Out: ??, it was low, I drained about 4.5 qts.
In: 5 qts PP 5W-30 (the new stuff), 0.75 qt QSUD. WIX filter. (O'Reiley's special)

I had to pick up a new filter tool, I have 2 strap wrenches, neither worked so I picked up a cup type oil filter wrench. Worked great.

planned OCI 10,000 miles.

2012 Toyota Sienna XLE
Out: Dealer Oil and AutoExtra filter
IN: TGMO 0w-20 and OEM filter

This was the first oil change after the free oil changes expired. I was surprised to see an AutoExtra filter installed by the Toyota Dealer. This vehicle has always been serviced by a local, large Toyota dealer. Any way to save a penny, I guess.
