Post your latest oil change.


Recommended Posts

You change your oil every 3k in all your vehicles?


My car it really depends time/use. I had around 500 miles on it last time but the OLM was pretty low and I was going to do a track day so I changed it. Analysis came back fine.

My truck pretty much at the moment. The last 3K took 6 months to get to during covid.l and working from home.

127,500 Mile Service

10/07/2020

 

2015 GMC Terrain 2.4L

127,464 on the odometer

2,264 miles OCI (2,500 nominal target)

 

Purolator One  PL15436 filter

Royal Purple 5W30 5 quarts

 

Used about 10-11 ounces (hair over a half pint) this OCI for a math rate of one quart in 6,800 or so. This is it's best so far. 

Pulled a half pint sample for visual. Black and quite opaque. 

If Royal Purple is good for nothing else it is a great cleaner. 

 

Except under extreme use I find any consumption unacceptable in a 5K OCI but this is much better. If it cleans up to a point where is uses nothing in 2500 miles I will start lengthening the OCI again. 

 

Winter coming on so I lowered spec to 5W30 from 10W30 and tightened filtration. One v BOSS. There is no means I currently know of to add an bypass filter on this rig nor a catch can. Could use both.

Are you saying you don't know of a way to add a by-pass filter?  You can get a universal kit from AMSOIL.  Is the filter a cartridge?

The filter 'can' is built into the block on these motors. You unscrew a cap and pull the insides of a filter out. Just the element. No pad, no external piping or plugs I'm aware of. PCV is cast into the manifold as an orifice restrictor. A bastardized system if ever one I saw.

Yeah, I'm sure there is a way, but one that is not for the novice. :)

130,000 Mile Service

 

 

2015 GMC Terrain

2.4L I4

129,711 actual

2,247 OCI (2,500 target)

PBL15436 Purolator and 5 quarts Costco Kirkland 5W30

6 to 8 ounces this oil change in use or a quart in 8 to 9 thousand.

This might be as good as it gets. 

No moisture in the breathers. Seems to show only in cold weather. ?

Nice!  It was only a matter of time I suppose that someone came up with an adapter.  Makes sense. :)
