I was looking at the fluid forum and was looking for info on oil changes. I'm changing oil this weekend and need some help. First I was gonna go with the Amsoil TSO Series 2000 0W/30 Synthetic oil. I know it's more expensive so would I be just as good off with Mobil 1 SuperSyn 5W/30?

Also regarding filters...the Nissan OEM 15208-9E000 is apparently not in make anymore. The new part number is 15208-00001. Is this one just as good or should I go with a different filter?

Any help is appreciated!

 

Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30 and a Mobil 1 filter.

 

Personally I only do Castrol Syntec 10w40 and Wix filters.

 

what about k&n filters? do they filter too much? i bought one for a jeep cause it was easier to take off with the bolt than to find a wrench that large in such a small space.

i got the moble1 filter and oil right now, but is there any info on k&n filters that may help?

 

I do Castrol GTX with a Bosch filter (98.2%)
I have run Mobil 1 synthetic with Mobil filter (99%)

The only difference for me was the change interval.

 

The truth is Nissan engines are so well designed and today's oils are so good that it doesn't really matter. You can run Walmart house brand dino oil and Fram filters, change it every 7500, and the engine will still outlast the rest of the car.

 

Ok i'm gonna run Mobil all around. Thanks guys

 

not in make anymore??? i just bought 5????

 

Wow easy there...I was told that they didn't make them anymore. Where'd you get yours?

 

easy there????

got em at the nissan dealer; Palmdale , CA

 

So it's alright to change over to sythetic oil from dino oil at like 118K miles?? I heard that it could leak and isssh if done. If its iight then I'm gonna do it cuz I only want the best for my max lol....what Oil do you think is the best? I heard a lot about Castrol Syntec but I got normal Mobil Dino oil right now 5W-30. Also whas up wit that Lucas oil stuff?? Does it help and how do I use it??

Sorry for the looong ????'s and post but I still can't post so tryna get ma posts and get some info....Thanks

Hey sry jac I didn't mean that in an a$$hole way. I think it came off that way tho.
Yeah whoever I talked to before on here said that they had gone to Nissan and that they were different number filters now. What numbers are the ones you got?

 

don't worry about it. i've got the Nissan 15208-9E000. if your local dealer don't have em, try here...

Isn't that a tad think? both for startup and operating temp

 

Castrol GTX 5w30 in teh winter 10w30 in the summer. Nappa Oil filters.

 

Mobil 1 5-30, great filter
M1-110 Filter BEST filter, emphasis on best

 

Ive normally used Castrol GTX in my older cars, but when I got the Maxima, Ive heard good things about Royal Purple in the past, so I started using Royal Purple 5w-30 and WIX filters. I ask if anyone disagrees with that because a few people have told me Royal Purple is over-rated and not worth the charge.

Any opinions?
