Oil run 1/30/16-7/17/16, a couple of hundred miles past 15% MM and a little over 8K.
Out: TGMO 0W-20 SM and Fram Ultra
In: HGMO 0W-20 SM and Fram Ultra
Yeah, I know that both Fram and Honda would say that the Ultra would have been good for another OCI, but I can't bring myself not to change a five buck filter while I've got the car up.
I will likely do a convenience change in late December when we catch a nice day. This OCI should be around 20% MM by then and I'd like to avoid a forced change in either Jan or Feb when the weather is bound to be colder.

Out: Amsoil XL 5w-30 at 7500 miles with a Motorcraft FL-900S filter.
In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 with a Performax PO-21 shop filter from work.
Probably going to run it 7500 miles as well, both are getting analyzed to see which is better for my engine. I like Amsoil, but hate the hassle of obtaining it when I can walk into O'Reillys and buy PP off the shelf 7 days a week and not have to pay for and wait for shipping. So unless Amsoil blows the PP out of the water in wear numbers, TBN, and other factors, I will probably just stick with PP from here on. We'll see in a few months from now!

In: PP 5-30, OEM filter
First time using synthetic on this car, after 60k miles using MS 5-30 OCI: 4-5k miles
Is so early talk about oil consuption but the engine is noticable more quite and easier when starting up.

2011 Nissan Rogue 100,096KM - Stickered it for 8,000KM.
Changed air filter, topped up washer fluid and coolant.
Manual calls for 4 and 7/8ths of a quart but I had to put 5.5 for it to read full.

Did two oil changes today.
85 rx7 2k miles on Castrol GTX 10w40. It was a quart low and I had used my castrol 10w40 as top off on another car so I went ahead and changed it to M1 15w50 for the hot weather. Left the STP XL oil filter in place
2002 Pontiac Grand prix 3.1. This engine seems to be picky about oils. Both me and my girlfriend swear we can tell it feels less peppy on some brands of oil. She mentions it without even knowing what oil was used at oil change. Some shop did some work on her car and put in whatever oil. This engine really seems to like a little moly. Pennzoil, QS, and supertech seem to make this car feel most normal.
Out: mystery oil, microgard filter
In: Supertech HM 5w30 and a Prime guard filter

2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6. 155465 miles on vehicle. 5033 miles on oil and filter.
Out: MC Premium Synthetic Blend 5W30; WIX 51372
In: Quaker State Advanced Durability 10W30; Fram TG2
After setting for 12 hours, pulled the filter and there was no oil in the galleries above the oil filter.
Re-installed the filter and ran the engine 2 minutes at the most. Pulled the filter and recovered 4 oz. plus of oil from the galleries. Conclusion: ADBV function is a fail.

159K car, a little over 4K oil. Oil run 4/17/16-7/24/16
Out: Defy 10W-40, Mahle filter
In: Delvac 1300 15W-40, Mahle filter
The Delvac Super has much higher HTHS viscosity than did the Defy, so it'll be interesting to see what the impact will be on fuel economy.
