Well, I decided to change oil by myself this time. I bought Mobil 1 Extended Performance. And I have put Indimitsu 0W-20 full synthetic oil ���� instead. I used this oil for my previous car which was Subaru. I mean it’s 0W-20 full synthetic oil. I just released that I have mistakenly grabbed Indimitsu bottle instead of Mobil.


BTW is a very reputable motor oil brand in Japan.


ZEPRO Eco Medalist Advanced Moly 0W-20 Engine Oil - 5 Quart

 

Congratulations on changing your oil by yourself. You are to be commended. Let us know how you like that reputable Japanese oil brand, "BTW"

 

Did Nissan change the recommended viscosity on the 3.5 L? As far as I know, it has always been 5w30

 

Yes they did. 7th generation 5W-30, 8th generation 0W-20.

 

Wow.....I do not like that at all....it has the consistency of ****. Honda has used that for years..........

 

And so has Toyota....I guess that is why you see hundreds of thousands of Toyota and Honda vehicles being abandoned on the side of the road because of engine failure traceable to use of 5W-20 and/or 0W-20 oil.

Or not.

I imagine it is easy to outsmart Honda, Toyota, and Nissan engineers when it comes to motor oil. After all, what do they know about engines?

 

This RickSmith is a strait shootin sombi+ch I could drink a beer with you and probably yap all night. Just don't think I'd go home with you on the first date.

 

I have always used what the Mfg recommends.......But, I dont have to like it.....My opinion is it is only for MPG reasons...

 

You got that right!
