    Oil Question

    Thanks Ryan, It's just that I have a couple of bottles lying around and both our Nissans (05 X-Trail also) require 5W 30. No problem with that and yes, Penzoil YB is an excellent lube IMO. Bry

    Oil Question

    Have a quick question. I am now driving a 2007 Versa 6 Speed. Alas, the 95 LeSaber passed away after 310,000 Km (engine was still great but the body expired!!). I was using GC then and I have a few liters left. I change my oil at 6,000 Km now, as per recommendation, and since the car is under...

    got a ticket in Canada

    kingrob, Unfortunately the Border Bozos are all in the same bed, and from the same school. The US Customs denied my bro-in-law a plane ride to Florida (a trip that he had already paid for) with us because of a 32 yr old DUI he had when he was 17 yrs old!!!

    Multi-Fit Rims

    Yup. That is the correct pattern. Got them put on today. My mechanic says they fit quite well. Had em out for a test drive.....not too bad. Not much noise and not bumpy at all. So far so good. No snow yet though...

    Nissan Versa 1.6-the least expensive vehicle in US

    I have been driving my 6 speed manual, 2007 Versa since Feb 07. I now have 21,000 Km on it and have never had a problem. No rattles, parts falling off, engine issues, etc. I also find the ride a bit better than the Fit. Seats are better made and after a couple of 500 Km+ road trips. my back and...

    Multi-Fit Rims

    I picked up the Multi-Fit from GoldWing on Colonade (Ottawa). These guys deal only in tires and wheels and seem to have their $hit together. The tech assured me that there would be no issues with these rims. They take the same lug nuts as I have now and the hub center would not be a problem...

    Multi-Fit Rims

    I am having a heck of a time finding after market rims for my 2007 Versa (15 in wheel). Nissan will sell them to me for $90.00 ea . I manage to get the last two from WalMart for $54.00 but that was all they had. I found a place that sells a multi-fit rim for $68.00 which will fit on the Versa...

    3.8 in pontiac oil usage

    Like the guys said, that consumption is not too bad. My 3.8 was in a '95 LeSabre and I got 300,000 km out of it. The first part of it's life was mostly Penzoil 5-W-30 dino at 5,000 km changes. The last 200,000 km saw a steady diet of GC (0-W-30)at 6 month OCI (12-14,000 km). My top-up volume...

    Redline SI-1 OK for 07 Nissan Versa

    Lakerguy, One measuring unit on the bottle treats 10 gal as a maintenance dose. A full bottle in a full tank is recommended for a "shock cleaning" i.e. really dirty injectors.

    Redline SI-1 OK for 07 Nissan Versa

    Yup, just the maintanance dose. No use wasting the stuff.

    Redline SI-1 OK for 07 Nissan Versa

    Hi All. I have several bottles of SI-1 left over from when I had the 95 LeSabre. I found that it worked very well in that 3.8 engine. I now have a 2007 Nissan Versa and am wondering if this product is safe to use. Nissan recommends that you do not add fuel treatment (like injector cleaner)since...

    Oil for Nissan Versa

    Thanks for the advice. I will hang on to the GC for now and find some decent SM. It's a pain in a$$ to get at the oil filter but I'm persistent. BTW....that was my last tour Bry

    Oil for Nissan Versa

    Hi All, Been away for a while in Afghanistan. Nice to be home. I recently bought a 2007 Nissan Versa and was wondering if my stash of green GC would be OK to use with this engine. The free oil changes at the dealership are over and I have a few liters of the green left (04 batch). BTW, this...
