Guy working for me has a 2006 Pilot, about 140K miles. It has developed a slow oil consumption "issue", roughly 1 quart 6K miles, in the past 30K miles. I know it isn't bad. He's running M1 5w20 EP with a 10K mile OCI but to totally eliminate it I suggested that he go to a 5w-30 or a 10w-30. I...

I have a 2008 G35X at roughly 40K miles and would like to get a consensus on how to maintain the trans. I've had the dealer do one drain/refill. This resulted in roughly 3.5 quarts being replaced. I want to do it again. The dealer is suggesting a flush with their machine. I'm starting to see...

Right now I'm running through my stash of GC but am contemplating stocking up on Castrol Edge 5w-30 or Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30. In my shoes, given a choice between the Edge or Ultra, which oil would you use in my G35?

Below is the latest UOA and first UOA on our 2006 Odyssey: Blackstone comments: Nothing too unusual showed up in this sample. Wear levels continue to read right around averages, and that's a good sign that this engine is wearing well and has no problems to speak of. We found a trace fuel...

Below is the latest UOA and first UOA on my G.. Blackstone comments are: We found a little more wear in this first sample from the 3.5L in your G35 than normal. Aluminum is from the pistons and copper and lead generally show bearing, though copper can come from any brass/bronze part. Universal...

Need to get a consensus on a dilemma. Guy working for me has a 2006 Honda Pilot, with 93K miles. The trans has never been serviced, ie. 1x drain, refill every 2 years after 36K miles. He planned on going to a dealer to get trans service today. I told him before he went to the dealer, to avoid...

Below is the UOA for my wifes Ody Total miles on van was 40237 miles. She also drives about 9 miles everyday, each way to work, hitting 8 lights, including 1 drop off/pick up for my old child's school.. Also, said in my previous post I'm in NJ so right now it's COLD! Thoughts/comments...

Below is my first ever UOA. Total miles on car was 14257 miles. I do drive about 9.5 miles everyday, each way to work, hitting 8 lights, including 1 drop off/pick up for my kids daycare.. Also, I'm in NJ so right now it's COLD! I also did an UOA on my wife's 2006 Ody and will post immediately...

I'm looking for an explanation when comparing API SJ to SM rated oils. Quoting from the API Engine Oil guide, SM oils are "For all automotive engines currently in use. Introduced in 2004, SM oils are designed to provide improved oxidation resistance, improved deposit protection, better wear...

OK. I have an 06 Ody. Trying to decide whether to go with the Mobil1 5w-20 Extended Performance or the 0w-20 Advanced Fuel Economy. Which oil is better? Thinking of going with the EP but my perception in reading posts here is that the EP isn't worth the extra money. Am I wrong? If the costs...

I'm just trying to get an understanding of the oil standards. Castrol says it's 0w-30: 1) Exceeds European ACEA: A3, B3, B4 2) Exceeds the engine protection requirements of ILSAC GF–3 for API Certified Gasoline Engine Oils Yet, it doesn't list the API SM standard (latest for API) as being met...

I presently have a 08 Infiniti G35 and am in the process of using up my second to last case of M1 5w-30. Found a decent deal for GC so I bought 12 quarts of the gold stuff. I changed the factory oil out to M1 5w-30 at roughly 2300 miles. Now I have roughly 2K miles on the M1 5w-30 and haven't...

In doing my searches, so far I haven't been able to find any UOA on the Mobil1 5w-30 Extended Performance oil. I just purchased a new 2008 G35 and plan on using that oil.. So I'm wondering if people have done UOA on this oil and what were the results? Also, besides the M1 0w-40, which if I'm...

I suspect this thread is going to open up a can of worms, again.. I've been looking around here and Odyclub.com for a reason not to use Mobil 1 0w-20 besides the concern's of the warranty. (I can still find Mobil1 0w-20). I have an 06 Honda Odyssey EX and Honda recommends 5w-20. (Correct me if...

Hi, I'm a newbie member to the site. I've checked out this site for about 2-3 years, researching sludge issues to make me feel better about my 1998 Sienna purchase and since purchasing a new Odyssey I decided to take the plunge.. On this forum I know that people are saying that the Honda...
