I just bought a filter for our car. Boy this thing is the smallest car filter that I have ever seen. The guy at NAPA said that it would also fit a Briggs and Stratton engine! The car is an Infiniti G35. I guess my only option is to buy the best filter and oil I can find. I am really concerned...

It is auto. Since my wife is the main driver she got to pick. The dealership had a black on black 6 speed with everything except navigation that I thought we were going to buy. When we got there and drove it we decided that the color and our location wouldn't be the best combination (too hot)...

I just looked at the manual again and it does say that I can use 10W-30 or 10W-40 if the temp doesn't get below 0!

I recently bought an Infiniti G35 coupe and it is coming up on the first oil change. I want to use a synthetic oil. The manual recommends, but doesn't require, a dino oil. I spoke to the service manager and he said he runs synthetic and there is no real reason to not use it. I have narrowed my...
