2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T (Son's)
OCI: 4283 miles
Out: ST 5w-30 Syn, Fram XG9688
In: Same

Sample taken for analysis: Should be interesting. This oil ran through the winter and my son short-trips the heck out of it. No oil used / added during OCI. Will the ST stand up to the abuse of turbo GDI operations + short-tripping? Stay tuned!
 
1998 Mercedes C180

Out - Aviasynth 5W-40, Hengst filter

In - Shell HX7 10W-40, Hengst filter (hope the 10W-40 will slow a rear main seal leak...)
 
1987 Mercedes 300E - M103 inline 6
Out: Valvoline 10w-30 dino and Mann oil filter
In: Valvoline Premium Blue 15w-40 HDEO dino and Mann oil filter

The 10w-30 was a "winter oil" experiment. Had somewhat easier starts than past experience with 15w-40 during 0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures. But engine idles noticeably smoother with 15w-40.

As per Signature...

Out: TGMO 0W16 SN
In: High Performance Lubricants Heavy Duty "HP SAE 0W16"
HPL HD 0W16 SL

2019 Lexus UX 250h F-Sport
@ 52k miles.

I am told that this oil would have achieved a rating of SL, due to enhanced additives.
There is no label on the bottle other than "HP SAE 0W16."
The box the cases came in also says "Synthetic Long Life Motor Oil."
 
1999 Merc E430 Sport.

Out: Mobil 1 Euro 0w40, Fram Ultra filter.
In: 8 new quarts of Mobil 1 Euro 0w40, Fram Ultra filter.

Sticking with what it seems to like!
 
2008 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel
215530 miles on truck
14500 miles on oil

Out: Rotella T6 and Fram Ultraguard XG3976A filter
In: Rotella T6 supplemented with Redline Oil additive, Fram Ultraguard XG3976A filter

Been having trouble with RT6 oxidizing on the previous OCI's, so I decided to supplement it with additional zddp on this fill.
We'll see if it helps. May have to find a more oxidation resistant oil to survive the EGR environment.
