Open thread for any information you want to post about the specific details of your oil changes to include oil used, oil filter, analysis of anything learned, as well as questions for others based on what they post. I will start it off:
2018 Subaru Outback 2.5L Limited - 99,427 miles - 7000 mile oil change interval (OCI)
Out: Rotella Gas Truck 5w30 oil, Fram Ultra Synthetic XG7317 oil filter
In: Valvoline Synthetic Maxlife 5w20, Fram Ultra Synthetic XG7317 oil filter
Notes: Engine ran a bit off using 5w30 and went back to running buttery smooth with Valvoline synthetic 5w20. Fram Ultra filter was used for a total of 13,000 miles (two OCI) before changing, I thought about running it one more OCI but oil drained was very dark so I didn't want to push it.
