Back in the 90s, Quaker State and Pennzoil had the reputation of wax buildup, but supposedly that has been fixed.
How long has it been since your last oil change?

Thanks for your reply!
It's been waaay too long since the last oil change. Thought the wife was keeping up on them but I am wrong. The last one we did was at a Chrysler dealer and I believe they use Valvoline products but I could be wrong. I know she's topped it off with Penzoil and I with Quaker state.
Our typical trips are about 30 miles (commute to work) and maybe a few miles here and there to local destinations under 10 miles. We're planning on a 400+ mile road trip this weekend and an oil change is definitely taking place before then.
