It's pretty funny when a person using 5W-20 could be thought of as being part of the "thick" crowd.

Switched to Bi-yearly oil changes on her car since her new work commute is 0.7 miles and it's heavily short tripped.

'18 Honda Accord Hybrid, 30,330 car, about 10,200 and seven months on oil, MM 15% for the past couple of hundred

Out: HGMO 0W-20, M1 oil filter

In: HGMO 0W-20, Fram Ultra oil filter

This is my second really clean no-spills change in a row this year, so I may be getting good at this after only around forty years, LOL!

No but I will in the future. I have been happy with DRIVEN stuff but I got a real good deal on a few cases of the VR1.
 
2018 Pathfinder with 35K and 3K on the OC. Short tripper and trying to lighten up the oil. OC before last I used M1 0W20 and the oil was very black after only 2k. It had not been this black before even after 5K as it was the first time I used M1. Changed the oil at 3K with PP 5W30 and it was dark but not as black after 3K as with the M1. Used ST 5W30 this time and I will see how it works.

Out: PP 5W30 and PH 7317
In: ST 5W30 and PH 7317

M1 will do that for 1 to 3 oil changes. It's a good engine cleaner.
 
3 oil/filter changes completed within the last couple of months and all using Pennzoil 5W-30 or 5W-20 and Fram TG filters.
My wife's car, who I also normally do in the spring only has about 2,700 km's on the last OC. Her being off work due to this covid thing has really slowed down her mileage/oil usage so I guess I'll be waiting a while yet?

I normally do spring and fall oil changes on her's and my son's cars, but now this covid thing has messed things up.

My truck only sees annual oil changes now due to me being retired but I just did one at the beginning of this month with 56% oil life remaining as I was coming up on a full year before my last oil change.
I just might discontinue using sny oil and just stick with a regular Dino from Pennzoil if I can't continue getting it on the cheap?
