Post your latest oil change.

[davester]

It's maintenance month for my truck, changed oil, greased, fluid in both diffs, transmission fluid, rear brakes (both pads and parking brakes).  Still have to do brake fluid...  278600km.  Just over 5L comes out, and 6L goes in every 7500km or so (per DIC).

92 Chevy @ 114K miles, engine has 34K since refresh oil change. Added a little R-134a Freon. Soon as weather cools, power steering and transmission fluid exchange.

Oil change 1 on the 2019, 91% oil life but I wanted to do an early change and then add a magnetic drain plug. Mobil 1 0W-20



2nd change done 10/25 55% oil life. Wanted to send off for oil analysis but I didn’t have any sample bottles. Plan to do so on my next change.

105,367 for an OCI interval of 4,826 miles. About 2-1/2 months. Guess I'm slowing down. 

6 Quarts Red Line HP 0W20

Clean K&P oil filter

Rotate tires which are now at 5/32" tread remaining. Very even wear. Adjust tire pressures.

Check brake wear and freeness of slides. They may never wear out. 

Pretty vanilla report. Needs a good bath.

Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain

 

110,129 actual: 5239 mile OCI. 

 

5 quarts AMSOIL SS 5W30 and Purolator filter. Less than a cup this time between changes. My guess, the rings were starting to gum up. The Red Line did it's job cleaning them up. (Had used QSUD for quite awhile) I got a good price on the AMSOIL which in this SAE grade has a lower NOACH than the Red Line HP.

Grumpy, what’s the viscosity oil you run?

That's a trick question RIGHT? 

 

In my truck or in Sugar Bear's Terrain?

Lol, in your truck. Do you mix them too?

Here's the thing. I buy full cases. Truck takes six quarts and the Terrain takes five. Almost everything else on the property takes four or four plus so I end up with odd lots of this and that. I run 5W* in the summer and 0W* in the winter. So...at any given time I have about four SAE grades (not counting bikes) and so generate a few orphan quarts here and there from time to time and so work off a quart here and there. 

 

So the target is 0W20 winter and 5W20 summer but it my be that the actual fill is sometimes like 5 quarts 0W20 plus a quart of 0W30 or 5W30 or 5W20. Whatever is left over from an odd case.

I used to use blackstone lab but JG is local to me and the owners grandson is on our travel baseball team. He also retired from where I currently work (Allison Transmission) and was a lubricants engineer. So far so Good with the analysis
