My 09 altima has reached a new level of oil consumption at 125k. This car has used oil since day 1 but never enough to appease Nissan. I'm on some Nico forums and it seems like a fluke and or I just got a bad motor. Anyhow, I just had the tranny replaced under warranty and it's approaching 30k...

My autozone has this on their clearance deal for $2 a qt. Any reason I can't run this in an 08 impala 3.9 over the winter? It's SN along with a host of other approvals I really don't care about. My owners manual states 0-30 is an approved weight but the whole euro diesel thing made me wanna ask?

Just like the title says. I ran a bottle of sl-1 through and after I ran the whole tank and refueled, I got a p0300 code for random misfire. Coincidence or is this somewhat normal? The car is an 08 impala 3.9 with new plugs and wires 5k ago. No abnormal idle and car runs smooth and fuel eco is...

My sons car recently picked up a small/finishing nail and of course Walmart wouldn't patch it as I was right in the meat of the tread which was the last tread on the outside of the tire, dead center, not the outer part. The tires are Dunlop signature ll, 2 yrs old with about 25k and show 70%...

My 09 altima was still running on the stock rotors at 120k, I did have them machined once and stuck new pads front and back around 80k and all was well, really couldn't believe the oem rotors lasted that long. Anyhow, the car had developed a brake pulse and wanting it to be problem free for my...

I'm going to service the (2nd Nissan replaced) cvt on my 09 altima and had heard that Idemitsu makes the Nissan oem fluid. Can anyone verify this? I used castrol in my wife's 07 Murano with no issues on drain and fills, but figure that if I can get the same fluid that Nissan has in their...

I noticed a crack in the back of my pcv tube that goes from the valve to the manifold. Not the hose that runs to the intake. Who knows how long this has been like this but it didn't make the car act up or throw a check engine light. What damage could this have caused if any? Oil consumption...

How sensitive are the 3.9 engines to oil viscosity? I've read that you absolutely have to use 5-30 in my 08 impala but I have 10 jugs of PP 10-30 that I wanna use up, probably next summer and fall. I have disabled the active fuel management if that matters, but believe it or not, this is my...

I have no clue how to read a data sheet or even post one and have even less knowledge of motul oils. This stuff is cheap and I'd like to use it in an 09 altima 2.5, 08 impala 3.9 and my daughters oil burning 09 g6 with the 2.4. These cars all call for 5-30 but this appears to be a true...

I gotta admit I was skeptical and generally don't believe in a fix in a can but I'll be dang. 09 altima that was burning through 3/4 of a quart every 1k like clockwork. I've owned the car since new and serviced it every 3750 just like the manual says, quality oil, oem or better filters. Now at...

I've developed a whine while accelerating and it seems to be coming from the alternator, it was chirping when the AFM was active but have had it deactivated and the chirp is now gone. Looking online the alternator for the car with AFM is crazy expensive, my question is since I no longer have AFM...

Family farm and home had mag 1 black bottle for $1.89 so I figured why not, I've used it as top off oil and for the price from wpp is a great deal. I was surprised to see the new bottles listed as "synthetic blend". My daughter recently bought a pos g6 with the 2.4 which I recently learned uses...

My daughter purchased this car after someone hit and totaled her Volvo S80. She's only using this as a work car, 100 miles per day and it had 98k miles on it. Long story short, she's put 3400 miles on it since she's had it and when she stopped by today I pulled the dipstick....bone dry. I've...

My son was back from college which is a 400 mile each way trip. I added a half quart to the 5 quart sump and the other half to a 20 gallon fuel tank. I drove the car approximately 80 miles around town before he headed back yesterday so basically 500 miles on the Kreen. He called last night and...

Is there any way to disable the fuel management in an 08 impala? It has 111k, great gas mileage, uses next to no oil but I'm just not a fan. Anyone have testimony on something that works without tearing into the engine?

Two part question. I cleaned out meijer store on 10-30 and 5-20 pp, not high mileage. With winter coming in ohio I need to come up with a mix of the two that gets it to around 5-30. I messed with some oil calculators and learned nothin. Will mixing the two cause any issues with the add pack...

I ordered last week and got it a few days later. Weird company to say the least but hopefully it will solve or help my 09 altima and it's oil consumption, I have nothing to lose. I'm in ohio and my sons got the car at his school in Illinois, so once I figure out logistically to make this work...

My Cummins dealer has it in stock. Yes it's expensive but if it would actually free the rings in my 09 altima oil burner then it's worth it. I've searched the site without finding any real testimony.

Hey all. Picked up a super clean 08 with the 3.9 fuel management bs for my son. I have a huge oil stash but nothing dexos outside of 5w20 and this calls for 5-30. My choices in that flavor are PP HM or penzoil yellow bottle. Will it make a diff if it doesn't say dexos on the bottle or should I...

My daughter has an 07 s80, 3.2 liter and is a royal pita to service and I dread every oil change. I've never done an analysis and really don't want to, yet I get that's the only way to tell how long she can go between changes. I've been doing 10-15k on liqui moly but have ran out and scored some...
