Hi Guys,
Long time lurker and first time poster,
My fiancée and I just acquired a new to us 2008 Scion XB for her back in November, The previous women who owned before she traded it in for a Nissan, Took very good care of it!
We got it with 80k miles exactly, The car is very quiet and didn't seem to use any oil which is sorta known with this engine,
The Nissan dealer I bought it from, claimed to use OEM filters for it but I haven't gotten underneath to check it out, Nor do I know what brand or weight they are using either. I went back for another since it's been very cold out and we seem to have snow every single day so I haven't been able to perform my own Oil Change.
The engine is now at 89k with 5k oil changes, the first one at the dealer was performed at 84k before we went on a long trip and it stayed golden with no consumption. This time at 89k there seems to be about a 1/4 quart missing before the 5k mile oil change I am about to perform and it seems to be the beautiful golden yellow still.
I will be performing a UOA for this last run, I don't know what to expect but hope to hear good news! The car isn't babied but driven highway 60% 40%traffic all winter long and is warmed up before it's redlined. Since then I have added a DC Sports short ram intake along with a new AFE Pro Dry S filter instead of the original oiled filter so hopefully I'll have good reports on silicon.
Like I said, I don't know if it was 0w20 or 5w20 that they used, I don't even know it's dino or synthetic that they have at the Nissan Dealer.
I wanted to know if you guys recommend me go with PP or Mobil 1? I prefer to stick with 0w20 and PP is in stock at my local walmart for 25 dollars, while Advance auto has a M1 EP filter and 5w20 M1 for 35.99
I can get a Purolator pureone with a coupon for 5.00 and the PP 0w20 for 25 so I figured the math it's a better deal to go with the former.
Also I was debating on an OEM Toyota filter over the Pureone for the 5k OCI, Should I stick with the Pureone?
One more question as well, I looked up BITOG and I know to not be alarmed that PP will turn the oil black due to it's "cleaning" the first run and also people have experienced a lot of consumption the first few runs is that true? Does it stop eventually?
Thanks guys.
