    9688 the one size fits all for asian cars?

    How much dirt capacity does one need in a filter? If you are filling up a 6607 to the point where it reaches constant bypass, you've got some major issues where upsizing to a larger filter isn't going to be the fix.

    MOBIL 1 M1-108A CUT OPEN

    Looks like the filter came as advertised. Thanks for the C&P. I am impressed by how good it looks after 20,000 miles.

    Q50 VQ37 Ester oils

    Little late to the party, but I will add that it is more important to change the oil at regular intervals than what brand of oil goes in, as others have mentioned, this engine is notoriously hard on oil. I've always changed at 8000km, using both conventional and synthetic. I currently have...

    2017 Altima extended oci

    Originally Posted by cals400ex Does the longer filter provide any benefit? Maybe if one were wanting to extend their oil change interval? The longer filter provides a small amount of additional filtration media. There are no benefits nor are there any downsides to using one.

    Motomaster Formula 1 Synthetic 5W-30 new baseline

    Thanks cdlamb for sharing once again. I still can't get over how the starting TBN is a mere 6.1. If you go on to PQIA's website, the industry standard for TBN 6.1 to 8.3. If the lab results are accurate, the TBN is at the lower limit of that standard. Shell's conventional 5W-30 has a starting...

    2018 Nissan Maxima Platinum Mini-Review

    I wanted a Maxima, but couldn't fit in one comfortably. There was next to no head room even with seat lowered all the way down. Love the looks of it. I ended up with a Q50 instead. This will be my forever car, until rust sends it to the junkyard.

    Quaker State Synthetic vs Pennzoil Synthetic

    Rural King Oil ?
