My 2015 Kia Optima, 24,791 miles, 3,652 miles on oil change. Valvoline 5W-20 Synthetic used. Little bit of grit in the pics from using a cut-off wheel to cut open. Only weird thing in remnants of a sticker on the element. Otherwise boring. Enjoy.

GDI engine is one reason, the Kia Direct Injected engines slaughter oil. The other is I pay very little for Valvoline Synthetic at work. I run 5k intervals on the wife's Multiport Injected Hyundai Santa Fe, it's super easy on oil, and one year intervals on my Mercury Marauder unless I take it to the drag strip. I change the Mercury's oil right before I take it to the track regardless of time in the pan.
