    New Vehicle : Early First Oil Change Or Not ?

    I'm doing early and often oil changes on my new Frontier until the 5000 mile mark. (See The Motor Oil Geek). You can read every opinion on here and still not know the absolute correct answer. My thought is: Will it help? Answer: Well it can't hurt and it might help, plus at my age I can now...

    Why is it NOT OK for 0w40 in GM 5.3 engine?

    I haven't used one since 2020, (2026 Nissan Frontier now) so I'm finding out the install is different now. Still, if I had a GM product, I would have one.

    I wouldn't use them again if they have a problem with the Range device.

    2024 Frontier 3.8 - New Addition

    I'm following The Oil Geek's break procedure. Change at 500, 1500, 3500, 5000. No filter change until 5000. He's cut open the filters he has used so far. No need for a change.

    2024 Frontier 3.8 - New Addition

    My 2026 long bed crew cab is nice. Turning radius is what it is, not been an issue for me. It's not a sports car. Rides nice and quiet. Much better than my 78 Datsun King Cab and my 84 4x4 Nissan pk did. The Hankook tires need to be re-balanced and aren't the best riding tire, but it's not too...

    You need a better dealer. The local dealer here recommends the Range, quietly of course, and maybe only to the customers they know, but they know.

    Why did you wait for the end of warranty for the Range? The beauty of those is they don't change the ecm if removed and removal is simple.

    Oil for cars that sit for months at a time

    I can't seem to find your evidence for a 6 month change? I agree, it can't hurt. But, that is not a reason to do something just because.

    Early First Oil Change on New vehicle- Good Idea or Waste of Money?

    Lake changed his transmission and differentials fluids, on his Toyota pickup, at 5000 miles, for the same reason. I'm following his suggestion from another of his videos and changing my new Frontier at 500, 1500, 3500 and then again and there after at 5000. No filter change until 5000 miles.
