Ummmm, the last I heard Nissan allowed 10w40 even within the warranty period. My SERVICE MANUAL that I bought specs 5w30 10w30 and 10w40. Your choice, although it says 5w30 is preferred. I use 5w30 or 10w30. I would be willing to bet that in my hot California weather I could run a straight 30...

Go drown in your own lime juice.

I figured that I would get this kind of response. Widely varied. I guess the point of my original post was, is anybodies car lasting longer as a result of this board. Rather than just saying doing regular maintenance at the normal 3k interval with SL dino juice? For those naysayers out there...

I'm wondering what all of the talk on this board is really accomplishing. Before you flame me though realize I do not intend to criticize anyone. I'm an oil freak too and I read all the posts here. My only point is it seems that for all the posting everyone pretty much agrees that if you change...

If what **** says is true then why do we even need oil filters anymore. If the Fram just bypasses oil without filtering it and Bob gets better wear rates with Fram then how come we even need an oilfilter? Maybe the modern lubricants when changed regularly are sufficient to suspend most wear...

Well, I've got a totally different take on the mideast oil thing. I say buy as much of there oil as we can. Pump them dry. Then they won't have anything but a sandfilled desert. Use it up that's what I say.

Hmm, I guess I'm confusing the drainback valve with the bypass valve. On the Napa Gold filters I've been using on my Nissan Pickup there is this springy thing in the front of it. I thought that was the antidrainback valve. Is that actually the bypass valve?

Hey, I was in Wally's world today and I bought a Supertech filter for my girlfriend's car. I looked in it and it appears to not have an anti drainback valve. Her car's filter is sideways so it seems to me it should have one. Then I went and looked at an ST8A which is the standard Ford spec and...

So, the next question is if the oil stays cleaner longer can I go to a longer drain interval. Of course, I understand the need to do analysis (after reading this board for a while) in order to establish the correct drain interval for my application but I would think if the oil stays clean longer...

Can anyone tell me what oil I should use in a propane powered pickup? Would normal gasoline oil be ok or should I use an oil for a diesel engine? I'm new to propane, although I like it cause its cheaper than gas to buy, and I'm wondering what oil I should use?

Terry, So, in your experience there are some additives that actually work? I've always been told that additives are not needed cause the motor oil company puts in their own mix already.

Yes, but I'm not much of a mechanic except for changing the oil. Is it difficult to install a block heater.

Hey, thanks for that post on the Pennzoil. I remember when I was a kid I used to watch Indy racing on T.V. with my Dad. I always liked Johnny Rutheford's car the best because it was bright Yellow and had red Pennzoil letters on it. So, if 5-30 is ok in my truck I'll try Pennzoil on my next oil...

I've thought about running a 5w30 but I was afraid too because that grade wasn't out when the truck was made. My owners manual says 10w40. I've been brave enough to run 10w30 but the car starts hard even on that. From what I've read here I should be using an oil with Moly in it. I don't like...

Let me explain why I want a better oil. Its the cold starts here in Idaho. It freezes in the wintertime and the motor starts hard every time. Its driving me nuts. I want an oil that starts easier. I want to go for a mileage record on this motor. It runs perfect after this many miles. I'd like...

Most filters less than $5. I don't use fram. Wix or Napa Gold or Walmart. They are so stinking cheap just change it. Oh, I know honda civics are a pain cause I have one. But just do it anyway.

I've done a search on the search page and I've looked all over the forum in the past weeks. I'm still confused. Is it safe to run a synthetic or blend in a higher mileage motor. Facts are below. 1. Nissan Z24 (2.4 liter four cylinder, cross flow heads, 8 spark plug design.) 2. 155,000 miles...
