Also have a hard time trying to trust a guys knowledge in oil when he calls them weights instead of grade. :P

I did an UOA a long long time ago when I still had my E92 M3. I ran the Castrol 10W60 that BMW recommended for that car during summer/winter after speaking with their master tech. The UOA showed that the oil sheared down considerably after driving the car a thousand miles or so (did a track day...

Originally Posted By: sir1900 xW-20 is probably the last oil I would use in these engines unless OP is going to drive it like how grandma drives her cars. Even then, as you stated, the VVEL is what makes it hard on oil and as such, I can't fathom why anyone would want to run a 20wt in these...

What I used to do was whenever I see them on sale on Amazon/Walmart for $28.xx, I'd just stock up and buy at least 2 OCI worth of oil for PUP when I feel like running the oil. By the time I'm ready to do the 2nd oil change, it'll come back on sale.

Own an Infiniti but figure its the same. I'm running Castrol Magnatec 0W-20 on the Q50 Red Sport for now. Going to try PUP next since it was free and have a stash of M1 EP after that. From what I've read, the VVEL is what kills the oil for Nissan cars. The only thing special from Nissan's...

Originally Posted By: blupupher Well, here is my current stash as of today. I mis-counted what I had, forgot I had returned the Valvoline Synpower. 15 qts of QSUD (10 qts 0w-20, 1 qt 5w-20) 5 qts PP 5w-20 ½ qt Peak 30wt 2 qts Valvoline 30wt 5 qts Mobil 1 EP 0w-20 6 qts Magnatec 0w-20 14 qts...

It's the only thread dedicated to PurOl that I saw. Some say to stop opening new threads. Some say these threads are too old and dead. Either way, they're kind of price-y and just e-mailed a reseller of the oil to see if it does indeed have API certifications or if it just a statement that it...

Originally Posted By: Flareside302 So how bout that VOA that probably won't ever show up... Such a shame. From what I'm reading, I'd like to give this oil a try but if it holds no API certs and there are no actual VOA or UOA, it looks like it'll be out of reach for my car for now. At least...

Tried to hold out as long as I could but it's of no use. Ended up finding deals here and there and ended up building up quite a bit of oil in the apartment. If I follow my 7500 mile OCI, looks like I'll be good for 45000 miles. That's another... 2-3 years for me. That's also not including that...

I really appreciate everyone's feedback. As someone else stated, I'll most likely just use OEM until my warranty expires. After that, I'll give Motul a try.

Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog can the longer M1-110 fit? Usually, as long as you have the clearance for it. I've run OEM filters on my Infiniti on the last oil change and will probably run OEM again for the next one as I still have a free oil change. After that, I'll be running the...

It doesn't state that S-Matic is REQUIRED but rather recommended. This usually means it's fine to swap but the whole disclaimer that followed stating the use of other fluids will essentially degrade the life of the transmission is what worries me.

Originally Posted By: deven Why would you want to change out the fluids in a brand new car? Most of these cars come with lifetime fluids and I have seen many a Nissans go on to 250,000+ miles with original fluids(except motor oil obviously) Much the same reason you change engine oil? You don't...

How did you find microscopic holes in air filter? I'm curious to know what circumstances made you look at air filters under a microscope. Lol
