    Thoughts on 2007 Nissan Sentra 60K for a used car?

    That's what I figured as the price was low enough. Private sale, garage kept. Good inexpensive car to start with. I'm proud of him. Watching him smile was priceless!

    My son is looking for his first car (gulp!) and we're eyeing up an 07 Sentra tomorrow morning. What are the weak points I should look for as we take a closer look at the car tomorrow?

    pre-Katrina Pennzoil 5w30 5.5k, 2006 Mercury V6

    I've been using 0w20 and 5w20, but I thought what the heck, this oil has been staring at me for 10 years, why not try it? I'm glad I did. Will continue to use it, this engine loves it. And it probably loves other oils as well.
