Napa Syn 5W30, Napa Gold 7502
Filter is Premium Guard Chinese made and seems to be excellent quality. Only went with with Napa oil and filter cause they were running a sale.
I was going to run HPL 5W30 this time, but I still havent changed my valve cover gaskets and I also noticed the front timing cover is seeping, with no loss on the dipstick. Not sure if using HPL with its excellent cleaning abilities before changing the valve cover gaskets would exacerbate the issue.

1970 ford f100 with a 5.0 coyote we swapped into it out of a 2017 mustang.
only in service for initial startups and idle to temperature. the motor has a dead cylinder with no compression so we drained the oil to check for parts and pieces.
out/off: 9ish quarts fram FS 5w-30 with STP regular filter.
in/on: 9ish quarts fram FS 5w-30 with Carquest Premium 85060 (PG with Silicone gasket)

It was fine. I had plans to run for 4 OCI but decided it's pointless on a newer car with 24k miles.
Sucking out about .75 quart of my Total 5w30 to put in some HPL EC30. Its a little light on the ratio but its all I have left from the 2 quarts I bought to use in my cars. Then it gets switched to HPL 5w30 pcmo
2000 Nissan Frontier with VG33E and 230,000kms
Out: Unknown oil/Fram Tough Guard
In: Castrol GTX 5w30/Valvoline VO-106 (still have 6 of these left from a bulk buy, they seem to work well enough).
This truck has been sitting with only occasional starts since my brother purchased it in 2020 so it was due. Also noticed the oil pan or rear main seal is weeping pretty bad.
