2007 Accord 3.0 V6 30,000 miles Schaeffer 5-20 Wix Filter

30 quarts of Schaeffers New Total = 9114

Has anyone heard anything about the Motor Trend filters - who manufactures, price, etc.? I've seen their advertisement in my last two issues, but it doesn't really give much info. I'm basically just curious - thanks to this site. They also have air filters, and they're both advertised as...

I used Havoline 5w30 (dino) exclusively in my VQ '05 Altima until 30,000 miles, then made the switch to Schaeffer's 5w30 (synthetic blend). The longest I ever ran the Hav was the Nissan-recommended 3750 miles - I had a UOA done with a Dyson analysis, and Terry was happy that I had changed it at...

Hello, and to the site, siggydo. I've used the Fumoto valve with no problems for over a year now. Quick, easy, and trouble-free. I think you'll find the Schaeffer's/Wix combination will serve you well. I had the best UOA ever (for my car) using the Schaeffer's, and I had run it for a longer...

Hey All, I plan on using Schaeffer's exclusively for 5000 mile OCI as long as I'm still under warranty, but I need some advice... Current mileage is 1200, and I am going to leave the factory fill in for the first 5000 miles before changing the oil/filter. Any problems with switching to the...

dkryan - I agree re: TBN. I plan on sticking with 5k changes and not pushing it past that point.

Onmo'Eegusee - A buddy of mine knows a guy that runs a local quick-lube joint. He was able to get the Schaeffers for me at $3.50/qt. BillionPa - let me know how the Si is if you get the Amsoil air filter...that's the one value that always been in the teens on my car.

Thanks for the comments everyone. You've all just confirmed what I was thinking. I made the decision to go with the Schaeffers/NapaGold after reviewing many UOAs/comments here on the forum. unDummy - I do plan on sticking with a 5k OCI just for convenience/ease of remembering, now that I've...

I've been a lurker for a while, and this is my first run with the Schaeffers. I'm using a Napa Gold filter, and the air filter is a PureOne. I think this looks pretty good, but let me know what you think. Miles on Oil 4500 / Universal Averages Miles on Car 40603 Aluminum 3 / 3 Chromium 1...

4.5 quarts, and I don't know why the moly is so high. Is that necessarily a bad thing?

Hey All, I just recieved my first UOA today on my '05 Nissan Altima with the 3.5L VQ engine; I'm still awaiting Terry's analysis. I really have no interest at this point in extended drain intervals (warranty, you know, and dino's cheap). I was just curious as to how my car was doing, as I've...

Ray H, We'll get to see about the Havoline 5w-30 SM in a couple of months. I'm going to do the first ever UOA on my '05 VQ (approx 12000k by that time).

Hello, I had similar questions, and ended up going with the dino Havoline for now, and will then probably switch to synthetic after I use up the case I just bought. I'm changing out the Valvoline currently in it (VQ35DE), and plan to do a UOA on the Havoline after 3000 miles. It's easy to...

Ron - it looks like Nissan doesn't necessarily recommend against synthetic...it just states that mineral based oils are recommended. I plan on switching to some form of synthetic blend or full synthetic after I use up my new case of dino oil.

Thanks for the quick responses, everyone. I know that I read recently (somewhere, just not sure where) this whole discussion about dino vs synthetic, and how synthetic should not be used. So, I checked the manual (why didn't I do that in the first place? ). As Paranoil and Anthony have both...

First post here - I have been a reader of this forum for several months, and the amount of information (and the knowledge of the posters) is mind-boggling. Naturally, I have a question for everyone, and would appreciate your recommendations. I recently purchased a 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE, and...
