About 3.5 years in. Just crossed 20,000 miles. Not sure how I feel about that...

I'd feel pretty good especially if your transmissions still working well. ?

Well I had a droning in the front drivers side wheel after about 60 kph, went to the dealer for an alignment and front end inspection, turns out it was a wheel bearing. Luckily covered under warranty. Not too exciting but glad it’s fixed.

Both the good and bad of having a 0.33 mile commute to work. It's about a 7 minute walk twice a day. It'll change significantly when I move in about a year and I'll start racking up miles again.
Relatable, I'm only 2 miles from work so once in a while I make note of hitting the highway once in a while to burn off whatever condensation I get and to stretch the legs.

Yesterday I changed the engine oil and rotated my tires after my trip last month to the PNW. I racked up a total of 10,487 miles between oil changes(changed engine oil weekend before I left), and 10,064 of those miles were on the trip alone. I am not one to let my oil change intervals to go that long, but it is what it is.

At least you weren't using non synthetic by mistake.

I regularly use Pennzoil Platinum 5w30. For this trip I jumped up to Ultra Platinum as I knew I was going to be running an extended interval. Did the Ultra benefit me at all? I don’t know, but figured it didn’t hurt to run Pennzoil’s “best”.

I have wanted to purchase it in the past, but my local Walmarts do not stock it on the shelves. Lately I have been purchasing my oil from them online and having it shipped to my home for free. Problem is the price for Platinum is always the same, unlike the ultra which is always fluctuating. When I purchased it prior to the trip the 5 quart bottle was under $30. Now it’s showing a list price of $40.
