Ok hmm.. I have a 2000 max with 78000miles I'm not sure which oil is good for her. I think mobil 1 is good. But which kind of oil should I get? 5w-30? Could anyone tell me what those number stand for plz?

 

also..I live in florida, 70~90F here also, I should get M1-110 oil-filter right? just make sure before I spend my money

 

For starters, what kind of oil have you been using? The manufacturer recommends 5W-30 which is what I have always used on my 95SE. Most of the time I use Castrol 5W-30, but I am thinking about switching to Mobil 1 synthetic. My car has 53,261 miles on it and I don't think I will experience any leaking problems if I switch to synthetic. I have been guilty of not using the Nissan OEM filters all the time, because I go to Mr Lube from time to time and I think they just throw on a Fram filter. I think I'll go the stealership and buy a few Nissan oil filters.

 

hey, this is going to be my first time changing oil, how many liters of oil or what size of bottle should i put in? I know this sounds stupid, but I don't want to have any problems when I'm doing it, so better ask everything I need to know in front.

 

Have you got an owner's manual? It provides the volumes of all the lubricants in it. I believe the Maxima takes about 4.5 litres of oil or 5.35 US quarts.

Based on the questions you are asking I suggest you take your car to a luby-loo before you f##k something up!

 

Pardon me 4.5 litres = 4.95 US quarts, not 5.35.

 

im running amsoil 5w-30 or 5w-40, forgot, if i switch to mobil 1 10w-30 will that be alright?...

im curious where online is the best to order oil filters..

thanks

 

4 quarts will be fine for 95 to 99 max save money

 

5-30 will do

 

Guys...read his post before delivering advice please.

He has a 2000 model. Not a 95-99.

And 5 quarts is WAY to much to put into this motor. Its worse to OVERFILL than underfill....Though neither is desireable at all.

According to my owners manual, with a filter change...the required amount is 4.25 US Imperial quarts of oil. I have a 2K1.

Yes, a Mobil1 110 filter is correct for your 2k.

Yes, Mobil1 SuperSyn is good. I made an assumption that this is what you will be putting in the car.

Nissan recommends 5W-30. I would put that in for the time being until YOU do research (versus recommendations of people) on what to put in. Many people run different weights/viscosity based on their driving habits and environments.

Read through Bills oil sticky above and you can start getting an idea of what to run.

Cliff Notes: Use 5W-30,Mobil1 110 and 4.25 quarts of oil until you do extended research.
