Went to check with car dealer. They showed me 2 types of filter: - 16546-74S00 (old type, dry paper, no oil, with metal frame). They don't use this type anymore. - 16546-V0100 (new type, paper but with oil on it, paper frame). They are using this type now and according to them, this traps dirt...

Thanks, will go check the PCV valve asap.

Yep, the new nissan filter (p/n 16546-74S00) I put in is the dry paper type, no oil on it.

I drive a nissan sentra with a QG16DE engine. I just changed my air filter (p/n 16546-V0100) which was in the car from day one. Mileage is at 24,000 km. I noticed the entire filter was covered with oil, not dripping but if you run you fingers through it, you get quite a bit of oil on your...

Hi Ray, Thanks for your advice. What you say is quite true, this is my first try of RP10W30 so I was a bit impatient to see some results. The next time I will leave the oil in for 10k miles before doing the UOA and perhaps push the engine harder dm

Hi genie, I supposed you are the same genie47 in mycarforum ? Great that you are doing the V/UOA on triple-r! I didn't manage to get any during the carrefour sale, so I guess I will carry on with RP 10W30 on my next oil change in 2-3 weeks time to collect more UOA data with RP 10W30 in the...

Hi Ian, Thanks for your feedback. Giant is now selling it at $35.90 with free car shampoo Some guys at mycarforum are advocating it, but so far, can't find any data on the oil, info given by their website is minimal. Feel like emailing them to ask for datasheet. I agree with you about the...

Hi John, Thanks for the info. Will ask for the larger filter for my next oil change. I suppose it's taller/longer (by how much?) since the diameter must the same if both were to fit. dm

Yep, got the free kit from blackstone. Post office won't let me mail, so I sent it to local wearcheck instead. Coffee, no problem , but not this few weeks, quite busy, still in office now. dm

Yep, oil has been dumped and am going to change the air filter asap. Thanks dm

It's in miles.

Hi Ian, Thanks for the info, I do not doubt Ken, it's just my luck I guess Anyway, next time I will go to another PO and tell them it's been done before. I hope the wear nos. drop in my next UOA I do (from 20k-30k km), that should be also about 5 months time, then we can compare. If wear...

Guess I have to go to another post office, I tried to explain to the lady for at least 10 min that the oil is non-flamable, non-toxic ... blah blah ... and even showed her the blackstone letter but she just wouldn't budge ... Do you just send the bottle from Blackstone or you put it in an...

Thought about using M1 but it cost about US$12+ per litre in singapore. RP cost US$6 ... so decided to give RP a try, cos I can do 2 RP oil changes for 1 M1 change. But the following article says that frequent oil changes are not good: http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/stories/mobil1.html

Thanks, will change it asap.

Hi Ed, Thanks for your advice. Yep, this is my first use of RP 10W30, previous oil was unknown mineral, ??W??, from car dealer. According to the RP bottle label, it's API SL, GF-3, with the "Energy conserving" label and "API certified for Gasoline engines" starbust label...

Hi Ken4, Thanks for your comments and advice. This is my first time using RP 10W30. Previous was mineral from car dealer. Will change the air filter. Mechanic used air gun to clean it during servicing, quite a lot of dust came out. I was also surprised read on the car manual that engine uses...
