Supertec are decent filters. My 07 altima didn't like em much at start up, but seem to be fine otherwise. They are a great value. Everyone seems afraid of the E core design just cuz it's different. Read about them here: http://www.champlabs.com/content/oil-filters If there were concerns...

The chalk test is the way to go for conclusive results. Otherwise I would run 35 in the front and 28 to 30 in the rear. You will have less oversteer as well (handle a bit better). Bump the rear up as you add weight. I ran 45 front and 30 rear in my 96 dodge ram 4wd empty (otherwise suffer...

Hankook is Korean, Cooper is American. I would pay a little extra for a tire you know is great and made hear by an American company. The profits stay here and benefit every American. The Koreans (and Japanese) do not buy US goods as a general rule. Once you take a trip their you will see how...

Ok...my 2 cent rant: Hankook is Korean, Cooper is American. I would pay a little extra for a tire you know is great and made hear by an American company. The profits stay here and benefit every American. The Koreans (and Japanese) do not buy US goods as a general rule. Once you take a trip...

2007 Nissan Altima 2.5S: PP 5w/30 7,500 OCI Walmart, Boise, ID 2008 SAAB 9-3 2.0T: PP 5w/30 5,000 OCI, Walmart, Boise, ID

Great stuff for just about everything, except for maybe F/A18s?

Due to the turbo, Rotella T6 5w/40 synth, or any HDO 15w/40. Given your location in Va, maybe you can run 15w/40 year round? Personally, I would run the 5w/40 but stretch the OCI to 5-6K in that car. The longer OCI would help cover the increased cost of oil while offering much better...

As first priority, I recommend tighening the valve covers to specified torque as they may have loosened up over time. If that does not stop the leaks, it's time to pull valve covers & install new gaskets. Secondly, given your application, I would switch to Clean 5000 as it doesn't really seem...

Just to clarify a little more: Yeah...I agree on shifting the tranny though all the gears after putting the normal service qty back in the clean pan (follow the manual; likely 6 qts). Intall 10qts will running in park as the trans pump will be moving the fluid in the pan into the tq converter...

I think he was saying that blue coated bulbs put out fewer lumens, which is measure of light output. The darker the color of tint, the fewer the lumens.

After draining/cleaning pan & torque converter and reinstalling pan, & tq bolt, dump in 5-6 qts ATF. Start truck, and install 10qts while the truck is running so it pumps the fluid into the torque converter. Check the fluid...may have to add some. If I remember right my '97 took Dextron...

Cake walk! 97F150-F150'02 Part I: Drop the pan, clean it, install new filter (make sure you get the right one), clean off gasket (don't need a new one...should be a stout metal encased rubber deal). Reinstall pan (don't over torque bolts). Part II: remove black plug from bell housing. Turn...

Rotella 5w/40

Decided to give a SuperTech ST7313 one more try on my '07 Nissan Altima 2.5S...same results: noisy-rough start-up. Couldn't stand it, so I installed a NAPA Select @ $4.99 after a couple weeks. Ahhh...purrs like a kitten now! Not sure why this engine does not like the SuperTech oil filter...

Awesome! What a neat car! I had a '78 4speed 280z for 12 years...I still miss it. Wish I would have kept it! Always wanted to put a 5speed in it. Anyway, it burned about a 1/2 qt of oil between 3k OCI...didn't seem to matter what weight it was (I used GTX 20/50 in the summer). I agree with...

My '07 2.5S Altima is sometimes really noisy at start up (1st few seconds), particularly when it's colder. It has 50K and regular 7.5K synth oil & filter changes. Currently running PP 5w/30 & Pureone filter. Glad to hear it's nothing to worry about!

No not actually...that is the purpose of the anti-drain back valve or gasket (ABV)...it is supposed to hold the oil in the filter, which is why the filter is (supposed to be) full of oil when you remove it. Premium filters typically have a silicon ABV that is supposed to last longer and work...

Well...in Wisconsin I'm sure it is, but when traveling though Nevada top to bottom I'm the one who gets passed, when someone else is even around that is. And the guy who passed me got a ticket...whew that was lucky! I've been pulled over in NV @ 92mph and the trooper asked me to make sure I...

My '07 2.5L Nissan Altima CVT manual states 50K OCI for the CVT fluid change severe service. I tried to make an appt to get my fluid flushed @ 50K but service mgr at the local Nissan dealership said 90K is no problem. He actually talked me out of spending $165.00 for a CVT trans flush. The '06...
