2015 NISSAN JUKE SL (AWD) 1.6L DIG-T (Direct Injection Gasoline Turbo)
I'm the second owner of this Juke. Previous owner was a female in/from Billings, Montana who loved Shania Twain (she left the Greatest Hits CD in the CD player) and she bought it on 10/08/15. It was a 3 year lease, she didn't renew it and it went to auction and was bought by Eau Claire Nissan and arrived on 10/29/18 with 34,631 miles in Eau Claire, WI. Dealership used Mobil Super Synthetic 0w-20 with OEM filter.
I purchased on 03/06/19 with 34,849 miles. First oil change was on 04/06/19 at 35,570 miles with PENNZOIL ULTRA PLATINUM 0w-20 with Fram Ultra oil filter.
- Driving is 80 City / 20 Highway, all mostly done like a grandma in ECO Mode in FWD mode (used AWD mode about 1%). I let the vehicle idle for about 5 minutes before driving about twice a day. Average MPG is 27 in town and 38 highway. The beginning and end of month I go out for two 25-minute drive on the highway at 65 MPH at 4K RPM to help breakup/reduce carbon buildup.
- I also used Marvel Mystery Oil only in the fuel tank at the 4oz per 10 Gallons recommendation, going through two 32oz bottles.
- Only Premium Fuel 91 Octane (no Ethanol), 99% of the time. 60% of the way through this interval, I tried two full tanks of 93 with 10% Ethanol but after seeing my MPG go down by 4, I went back to 91 NO ETHANOL. Not sure if this has any
effect on oil samples.
Oil change done before winter comes on 10/05/19 at 39,309 miles and got a sample to send to Blackstone. Total mileage on oil sample = 4,460 miles on 182 days
I think it looks pretty good, I don't like that fuel is 1.8 but BS says 2.0 is when problems seem to occur. Being Direct Injection, my idling and mostly city driving, I'm going to assume it's going to be around that 1.8 range. Overall, how do you guys think it looks?
