Vehicle/Oil/Filter/Mileage/Interval survey

[OVERKILL]

I figured that this might be an interesting topic to start, hopefully it hasn't been done already.

I know many of us work on a number of different vehicles. I would like this thread to contain information that pertains to that ONLY. No other posts please.

Here is what I would like:

The changing to field is for if you intend on changing to another oil brand, and the reason field should be self-explanatory.

Please use this format for each vehicle you service.

Grade: 5w30
Filter: Purolater

Reason: Certain Advance Auto Parts locations were selling Q-Torque 5w20 Synthetic for $1 per quart, because people didn't trust any 5w20 oil. This was a great time to use it in the 3.7 that was back-speced to use 5w20.
