I couldn’t get to Vegas this year, gotta gamble somehow right? Watching this thing pushing 10psi boost for hours on the highway and keep everything cool and working is pretty amazing.

Most recent sample from my rogue here from Polaris labs, along with the blackstone run sample from last fall. This was the first sample for this engine where I changed the oil and knew exactly what it was. I used the Nissan branded Mahle filter on this change. I knew there was quite a bit of...

I have one of these from 2025, and recently got the recall done. Where did you see they reduced the power output? I haven’t seen a change in max boost pressure or fuel flow when floored. I’ve been logging obd2 data since I bought it new, I’ll have to look at some of the full throttle pulls...

I’ve been thinking about going to a 0w30 or 5w30 for the warmer months. The US manual only recommends 0W20, whereas the European manual for the same engine has a spread depending on minimum temperature, where above -22F they allow 5w30 and 5w40. I’m still under warranty though, so going my own...

Strangely enough, they just announced another recall on this engine. Oil temps can get too hot in certain driving conditions and cause bearing damage, so they are reprogramming the ECU. Made me think back to last summer’s road trip where the oil nearly hit 240F when climbing some passes in the...

Pretty much. There isn’t a lot of publicly available data on these engines, so I’ll just do this until either I get bored of it or funds run low. Might wind up useful to someone in the future. It’s been a while since I did any sort of oil analysis on my own cars, and back then blackstone seemed...

Not a lot of the newer 3 cylinder rogues on here, so I figured I’d throw mine up. I was originally concerned about a coolant leak because I’ve twice had to top off the coolant tank in 18K miles and 10 months of ownership, and I wanted to get something documented if I needed to claim warranty...
