I have a 01 max just got her last month, but I want to give her a full tune up oild the works pretty much prob next week or so, what kind of oil would you guys recom. for a 01 max with 90k miles on it? Oh and I'm in NY so you know its BRICK !! outside!!

Thanks

 

Any fully synthetic should be good. Always try to use a synthetic because it will extend the life of your engine and you don't need to change it as often (they don't break down as fast as the normal oils).

 

yea I was thinking of either mobil 1 or castrol. all synthetic Thanks just wanted to see if anyone thought of something else maybe for a 90k gle

THANKS AGAIN,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

 

I use Mobil 1 in my 2K--almost at 80K.

 

So its ok to use with synthetics with a high mileage car, i had always heard that higher mileage cars with there old gaskets will leak with synthetics even if you didnt have a oil leak before you started using them....?

oh yeah dvanorder i just moved to cashville, do any of the maxima owners get together in town? just wondering

 

how many quarts do u guys use? 5 or 5 1/2??

 

Check your manual. It'll tell you how much w/ and w/ out a full oil filter.

 

Ditto on the Mobil 1. Good stuff, however I have used Penzoil synthetic in the past and had better results (lasted longer and ran smoother).

 

no manual came with my car, but I'll look under the hood for the cubic in. and fig it out no bid deal

 

so u would say penzoil would be better off.? do u use penzoil on your car at the moment? how many miles do u have?
