what weight and what kind of motor oil do you run? i'm in northern calif., so it doesn't get too cold.

 

The one recommended by the owner's manual, the one listed in all the faq/stickies or the one listed in the search engine.

 

 

i'm currently running redline 10w30.. i would run 5w30 but the store taht sold the oil didn't ahve it in stock.. prior to this i was running mobile 1 5w30 tri synthetic. another good brand that has been talked about alot is amsoil.

i'm also in nor cal.. i recomend 5w30 since it's getting cooler..

 

I am using only Nissan-recommended oil...actually, so far, all of my oil-changes are done at local Nissan dealerships. I do not believe in using anything else other than spec because it may void the wtty.

 

nissan uses quaker state.. i'm not sure if every nissan uses that.. nissan doesnt' make their own oil, it's which ever company they set up an account with.. but i do believe in using the OEM filters beacuse they tend to filter better than other generic brands.. just stick with the viscosity the owners manual suggests and factory oil filter then the rest is all preferance.

 

Mobil 1 tri-synthetic 5w30 with a Mobil 1 oil filter.

Soon to be adding Amsoil synthetic gear lube or Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube.

 

i use pennzoil synthetic blend

 

mobil 1 5w30 here

 

right, this is what I do. I've been saving all receipts, and if smthg goes wrong, I am protected.

 

I user 5w30 Mobil 1 Synth with Nissan filters.

 

i use quaker state synthetic for high hp cars. should i go with the FULL synthetic? i always change at 3k miles so does it matter?

the box for the one i use has a camaro.. the full synthetic has a lexus...

 

Well, do you want your car to handle like cr@p and have a lot of power? then use the Camaro boxed oil.

Do you want luxury, build quality and higher resale value? Then use the box with the picture of the Lexus on it.

Simple.

 

I pretty much stick to the 5W30 Mobile 1 Syntec

 

Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic.

 

Mobil 1 tri-synthetic 5w30

 

Valvoline 5/30.

Got 170K out of my last Max (traded in on '02 :-)) running it and the Mobile 1 Synth.

 

can some one tell me y use synthetic? and what is the tri synthetic???

 

I was running Mobil 10W-30 Sythetic this summer, and i went Mobil 5W-30 Sythetic for the winter.

 

Mobile 1 5w30 synthetic

 

mobil 1 5w30; nissan filter

 

I don't use oil I use KY Jelly, ooops sorry wrong message board.

When I had my 300ZX-TT Redline 20w50, my mustang Redline 10w30, when I finish breaking in my 02Max then I will probably use redline 10w30 or Mobil1 13w30.

 

I use mobile1 5w-30 synthetic with nissan filters. I have almost 20,000 miles on SusieQ already and the crankcase still has no varnish anywhere that I can see!! Works great!!

 

I use Valvoline synthetic blend 5w30 and
nissan filters

I use Kendall 15W-40 w/Nissan 9E000 filters. I'm going to run 10W-30 for the coldest months(Dec/Jan/Feb), since I'm currently doing mostly short trips.

If you change your oil EVERY 3-4K miles use a quality regular oil. If you go 5000-7500 miles per oil change use synthetic. If you live in EXTREMELY cold climates and/or drive MOSTLY short trips you would benefit from a synthetic.

I'd stay away from Penzoil and Castrol/Quaker State(same I think) and go with Mobil, Kendall, Vavoline, or Chevron oil. I have seen some analysis that have showed ALL to be "adequate" oils, but the Mobil, Kendall, Valvoline, and Chevron typically do far above average. I've talked to several Engineering friends in the auto/motorcycle industry and they have pretty much all agreed.

If your running a SC or turbos I'd run synthetic. In my research/experience the best synthetic(if you can afford it!) is Redline.

 

I use synlube car is doing extemely well

 

Royal Purple 5w30; OEM filter

 

amsoil 5-w30..nissan OEM filter....=)

 

Castrol GTX... OH...and it's either 5W30 or 10W40...

 

Amsoil 5W30 w/ Amsoil filter...

 

I use Mobil 1 5W30 with a Nissan filter.

 

Is the Nissan filter a syntec filter?
I know Bosch or something like that makes filter specialized for synthetic to filter out more gunk or something to that effect.

Castrol or Valvoline 10w30... I'd use straight 30 weight if they sold it locally. Don't need multi-vis unless I drive up north somewhere, it just gunks up an engine.

A straight 30 weight is going to increases your wear and fuel consumption until warmed up and is not a good idea. A multi-weight oil will NOT gunk up an engine. It's almost impossible to find a high quality straight 30 weight for street applications. Besides, if your buying a cheapo oil it will cause way more "gunk" than any multi-weight would.
