I am wonder what people would recommend as a good oil/filter for 2009+ Nissan Maxima?

 

I recommend you search

Mobile 1 full synthetic + Nissan oil filter.

 

In both the 2007 Maxima (sold with 91K miles) and the current 2012 Maxima (35K miles), I use Mobil 1 with the Nissan 15208-9E000 filter and change both every 5-6K miles.

Lol. Exactly. Laser accuracy.

 

Lots of threads about that. Search and you will be pleased with results.

 

I'm a disciple of Mobil 1. I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 with Mobil 1 M1108 oil filter. I typically change both every 5-7k miles.

 

I run mobil1 0w40 and a M1,110 extended filter, my UOA say I can do 10k, and still have more left

 

Nissan Ester Oil baby!!!

Although I wasn't too happy with my first UOA, will run another to see if it's worth continuing it.

 

I'm at 32k miles on my 2012 Maxima. Ive never switched over to full synthetic before. Do you have to slowly go to synthetic or just start off with it? Getting my oil change today

 

You can switch to synthetic oil now. I change mine every 5-6K miles.

How many qrts should I get at the dealership? I think ill go Mobil One

Edited* Rookie question lol fml

 

Go to Wal Mart and get a 5 quart jug of Mobil One and a Mobil One filter. And while you are there pick up a set of Rhino ramps, you will need them. And also a pan in which to drain the oil.

 

I can never find those damn Rhino ramps...maybe my Walmart sucks lol.
Also what model number/size filter we do need from Mobil One?

Thank you

 

^^^^
Look Up and you will find the response, Wait if you don't here it is, not trying to be an a-hole..

 

For everyday, normal driving it is not what oil you use but when you change it which is more important. You can get a solid 175K miles + with cheap @$$ bargain oil/filter provided you change on regular 5k cycles. Worry less about the oil and more about when you change it.

 

Lol I deserve it but to be fair I was at the dealership and I was looking for a quick response!

 

Trust me I didn't mean to be a dink about it.

 

Castrol 5/30 Synthetic Blend plus Purolator Plus oil filter from Advance Auto.

05 Max uses this from 2nd change and now @ 219k miles, and daughter has 09 and on her 2nd change....

Oil and filter changes r every 3K miles in my house....

 

I got Mobil One Extended Performance full synthetic with this fram filter (couldn't find the Mobil filter)

Good combo?

 

Recommendation on Nissan part online besides Nissan courtesy. I like to stick with oem for now don't want to deal with warranty BS. Thanks.

 

Non OEM will void the warranty?

 

I don't know but I know stealerships love to play game. I am sure someone can get all technical about not getting voided. I don't wanna deal with the BS.

 

Should be very good. I have not been a big Fram fan, but the Ultra is a really nice filter - and I will try one when my stash gets lower and I can find them on sale.

I will likely use the XG7317, which is a slightly longer version.

 

Mobil1 %w30 synthetic and K&N oil filter has been working great on mine.
Only benefit of the K&N is that you can drive a bit longer before changing the oil (they claim 2000 more kms than the competition)

 

I use Pennzoil Ultra with K&N HP1010. Best combo in my opinion.

 

It is all about what you feel comfortable using on your car. Personal preference, but I would not use Fram on my lawn mower but that is just me. I worked at a Mitsubishi dealership and used to see vehicles come in that developed a tick in the valve train because the Fram filters are too restrictive and not enough oil was getting to the valve train. I have had 2 turbo cars that I have always run Castrol Syntec Edge with a OEM filter and have never had any issues.
Now that I have the Nissan and my oil changes and tire rotations are free until it hits 105,000 miles Iit get the OEM oil and filter. But when I have to start doing it my self I will use the Castrol Synthetic with an OEM filter. Now i hope this helps and do not want to start a which is better topic and as I stated it is just my opinion
Here is a great site for information on oil and lab results from people having it tested.

Check this review out it has a lot of cut always of filters and honestly I am switching to k and n filters . Let me know what you think .

 

K&N Filter for ease of removal and Mobile! Synthetic every 5,000.
