Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I think that I will continue to use conventional Chevron Supreme 5w-30. – KC

Hi All! I have a 1994 Honda Accord non-vtec that I would like to switch over to Mobil 1. I have owned the car since new and it has always had regular oil changes on conventional motor oil. The car now has 212,000 miles on it and I have replaced most of the engine oil seals with the exception of...

ekpolk – The stock FX35 Oil Filter is the same as the “tiny sized” one that the G35 uses, part number 15208 65F00. I choose not to run that particular filter in my vehicle after the second oil change. Instead I use a larger OEM Nissan filter, part number 15208 9E000. I believe that this filter...

Thank you all for the positive comments! I appreciate all of the responses! I plan to next have the oil analyzed after the sixth oil change. I will post back with the results then. Thanks again - KC

Bror Jace – The car was driven gently for the first 1200 miles and “normally” ever since then. I would say that about 80% of the miles are from highway usage. Could that account for the lower than expected metal wear? Thank you for your response. - KC

Drew99GT – Thanks for the comments. Smitty - I used to own a Saturn that loved to consume oil regardless of brand. However, I noted consumption to be markedly higher when using Castrol GTX. I have avoided using Castrol products ever since. - KC

vvk – Thanks for your comments. What do you think about Chevron Supreme non-synthetic 10W-30 or 10W-40? I have read good things about this oil on this forum and was thinking of switching to this brand on the next oil change. I have also considered switching to Mobil One Synthetic 10W-30 but I...
