Can't get Havoline anymore here in Southeast Michigan. I guess Walmart doesn't want Havoline stealing sales away from it's house-brand Supertech labels.
I miss the good-ol' days when Walmart sold both Havoline and Trop Arctic oils. Would rather see these-2 in full synthetic offerings, than Supertech on their shelves, even if it meant selling those brands for a couple dollars more per jug.

Probably a regional thing. I can get Havoline in West Birgonia and Maryland but not in PA. Hmmm….🤔🤔🤔🤔
 
Tacoma in signature, now 189k odometer miles:
Out: PP 5w30, Wix 51516 (oversize)
In: PP 5w30, Wix 51516 (oversize)
Notes: 8 months and 4992 miles on this interval, top-off oil not needed. Old oil was pretty dark for the shorter interval, either due to the Cataclean use just before this service and/or due to oxidation from summer temps (last oil & filter done in February). Typical interval is 6000-6500, can't explain why I changed it sooner except that I wanted to?
 
2014 Buick Verano T
114780 miles total, 7361 miles OCI
Out: M1 ECF 5w40, Fram Ultra filter
In: Same

Oil life monitor at 2% when oil was changed.
Oil appeared to very thin when pouring out, and fuel economy has dropped from 28 to 25 mpg over the last couple of months.
May be time to start UOA's again. I suspect fuel dilution.
