I recently was told by my dealer the rear brake pads were in need of replacing on my 13' pathfinder. I decided it was easy enough to just swap the pads out myself and used a mighty vac to freshen the brake fluid. Anyway took the vehicle in for new tires and mentioned to the service writer i did...

Traded off the 08 impreza for something bigger. Found a really nice 2015 Ford Fusion with the 2.0 ecoboost. The vehicle had only 24k miles! I am really impressed with the power of the ecoboost. Anyway the OLM showed about 65% left and the dealer had changed the oil when they got it in. I think...

Not sure if this will be ok but I was planning on using a mixed bag of left over oils for a Subaru Impreza 2.5 non turbo. 1 qt is mixed 5w30 M1 and PP 2.5 its of old Castrol Edge GB 10w30 (unopened contianers) remaining will be M1 5w30 According to the OM this car can run most any weight oil...

Has there ever been a report on here where a person sent off a UOA stating the oil was one brand or type and the test shows something else was in there? Example would be having the dealer put in a synthetic oil and a UOA finds it to be conventional.

Can someone explain how to properly post a report. I read the sticky and it made no sense to me. Lab result

I am about to send in an oil sample from our 2008 Impreza non turbo. I am not sure if I should get the TBN? I ran this o/c for 5500 mi / 8 months. This is somewhat severe use because of short trips.

I have an oc coming up on our 2008 Impreza 2.5 non turbo. I have three qts of Castrol gold bottle 10w30 (older sm rated) and a mixed qt of 5w30 pp/m1 (sn rated). I typically do 7500mi oci which takes around 9 months to get to this point. Good to go?

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder with a CVT. I have looked under the hood and in the owners manual but cannot find where I am supposed to check the fluid level? Or is it just sealed? The manual suggests the fluid be changed every 30k, experiences on this? I most never tow anything.

I took my Pathfinder in to the dealer for o/c and rotation. The dealer lets customers bring in your own oil so I brought in some PP 5qt jug. I had an apt for 11 am. It was Saturday so they were a little busy. The service writer noted my oil sitting on the passenger seat and I wanted them to...

What do s the difference between the 15208 65F0E and the 15208 65F0C?

It seems there is a known history of when Mobil first produced/sold Mobil 1 and how Castrol got a synthetic on the market. So when did Pennzoil first get a synthetic on the market? Was it always named platinum?

Awhile back I bought a new Pathfinder and a buddy had a newer truck. He told me I should use a higher octane gas instead of the recommended 87. Do people really think it is cleaner or better just because it is more expensive? A person would just be better off going to a newer name brand gas...

I know that different gas stations have different additives than others such as shell vs mom and pop etc. So where does the additives get put in at? I work as a fuels person on a military base so our stuff is pretty bare bones. Our pumps do not have anything than inject as we are pumping and our...

I saw there is a rebate program just like shell/Pennzoil. I have registered my vehicle with the Pennzoil program and got the rebate. The registration looks the same on both websites. Can I take advantage of both rebates? How good is the Quakerstate fully syn compared to M1 and PP anyway?

Is it just me or does there seem to be more confidence on the forum with m1 than pp on longer OCI such as 8k or more?

Can there be any negative effects changing oil brands? For example pp uses a different additive package than m1. Would the remaining oil from an oil change even make a difference? It seems I read an analysis that made a note about an oil brand change.

My wife has a 2008 Impreza with the 2.5 engine. We bought it new and it currently has around 50k on it. After reading all these oil threads I see many people have to replace the head gaskets around 100k. I was curious to get some background on this and other things I can expect. Typically what...

I may give a 0w30 a go on my 2013 pathfinder. There used to be a lot of people who loved the German castrol 0w30. It seems that has been reformulated and now under the edge label. How is the current castrol and m1 differ in the 0w30 flavor.?

I got an oil change deal from AZ and it came with an S6607 oil filter. It seems smaller that previous filters I have used. In fact the S6607 is also the same filter for my 3.5 v6 Nissan. Is this filter any good for 7500 oci? My engine should be very clean in the Subaru 2.5 non turbo. It has been...
