    Another new vehicle question

    Ryan they did me right on that. Nissan is having a MAJOR push on the Titans right now. $19k on the trade (an XE CC w/ 12K miles) and the price of the SE CC was like $22.5k before trade. All in all a good deal I thought. Dyoel, do you think the MaxLife would be harmful to a new engine?

    Another new vehicle question

    Just traded for an 08 Nissan Titan SE crew cab last week. I had an 06 Titan and used Pennz Platinum and Valvo SynPower (both in 5w-30) without any consumption at slightly less than 5k OCI's. I switched to syn at roughly 1500 miles in that truck. Now my question is thus: Should I stick with the...

    Whos running what in a Nissan Titan?

    Have run Q-Torque 10w-30, Pennz Platinum 5w-30, and have Valvo Synpower 5w-30 in now. All have been fine. No noises, no consumption.

    Leave in or change before I go

    Greggy that may very well be true.

    Leave in or change before I go

    I am a wuss I suppose. Changed it out with SynPower 5w-30. It would have nagged at the back of my mind.

    Leave in or change before I go

    It is through the mountains of WV and I will drive between 70-85 mph. The engine never uses any oil but it's dark now (I know I know). Hmmmmm... decisions decisions.

    Leave in or change before I go

    I have a trip from NC to Pittsburgh coming up at the end of the week in my 06 Titan 5.6. I have PP 5w-30 in now with about 4k on the oil and 9400 on the truck. I am scheduled to change at 10500 which will roll around before I get back (avg trip plus driving is 1300 miles). I have the Valv...

    FP3000

    Two quick questions: 1) Can you purchase FP3000? If so do you have to call LCD? 2) Is there an appreciable difference between FP60 and FP3000? Thanks!!

    '06 Buick LaCrosse -- opinions?

    G20, you could get the 3.6 or the 3.8. The 3.6 had better power numbers but dad was not sold on the "new" design and liked the reputation of the 3.8. Overall it seems to have worked well for them.

    '06 Buick LaCrosse -- opinions?

    The mother has an 06 Lacrosse with the 3.8. Super riding and driving car! The only thing is that at 6'3" it is a PITA getting in the darn thing. Other than that I would buy one in a heartbeat!

    Got a new Accord, paint is screwed by dealer.

    Gedcruise, you hit the nail on the head! It is not that it cannot be made to look like new, but that it has lost some of its ability to be polished and buffed in the future. In essence this brings a new paint job that much closer and that is quite simply lost value due to the laxness of the...

    Got a new Accord, paint is screwed by dealer.

    Vee, if the dealer would do such a thing to the pain then play dumb or be a hard case then is that the dealer you would want doing anything to the car in the future? I for one would NOT.

    Got a new Accord, paint is screwed by dealer.

    The state Attorney General's office may be the next step. They took the car and did something to it that lowered the value, functionality, etc of that car and are thereby responsible; just like if they dinged the hound out of the door while replacing a set of plugs or some such item. If they...

    questions about buying a new camry???

    We have an 06 Camry SE with the I-4 and 5spd auto. Great car! 30+ mpg, solid handling, leather, alloys, 6 disc for less than $19,500 inc 100k warranty. Dealer was a PITA, but the vehicle and price were right. 25k and counting w/o one single issue. I would insist that they put on the all season...

    QS Advance Synthetic

    Terry, in my Nissan 5.6 which would you run; Q Torque Power 10w-30 or Pen Plat 5w-30? Just curious as your take.

    06 Nissan Titan -- how's this?

    Thats the same thing I found at AA a few months back. They were out of PP so I got the QS torque power and advanced full synth. Truck seems to have liked them, no weird noises, no usage at all. I will get a UOA on my next PP run just to see.

    What's in your crankcase

    Penz Plat 5w-30 in both the Camry and the Titan. 1k on the Camry, one week on the Titan. Both spiked with a small dose of LC. Lots of short trips, hope it helps stabilize the tbn.

    5K synthetic oil change a waste of money?

    Both my engines (2.4l Toyota and 5.6l Nissan) are hard on oil, therefore I stick to 5k on Pen Platinum or QS Syn. They are on sale BOGO at AA quite often and the extra margin of error makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not to mention the warranty requirements that Toyota has since the...
