Next week I'm changing the oil on a neighbor's car, 6 months ago when I changed it I put in 0W20 Castrol Magnatec, with a Motorcraft filter, she has an extended warranty on it.. This past oil change, she ran about 6,000 miles. She wants to run 10,000 miles this time. So I'm thinking Castrol Edge or Mobil 1 but which filter would you recommend.
2018 Nissan Rogue oil filter
- Thread starter Scott S
- Start date
According to her it's 10K or 1 year
Per the Nissan owner's manual I believe the recommended oil change interval is 5000 miles. Her extended warranty will be worthless in the event of an engine mechanical problem if she doesn't have records to support that interval.
Nissan used a port injected 2.5L up until the 2020 model year. It would probably be fine up to 10K miles with a top quality oil and filter.
2021+ are direct injected. I wouldn't go past 5K miles with those regardless.

Yes you were correct, 6 months or 5000 miles, according to the owner's manual thank you very much.. I really appreciate you saying something, I just let her know.
One that fits. The idea of a longer life filter is good but it looks like you are being talked into 5k changes which is a good idea.
The Toughguard (tg6607) is really hard to beat in this application. You can get them under $7 at Walmart or Amazon.
That's what I have in my cart for her right now. Too Funny
I was just in the midst of looking at some oils..XG7317
What oil are you considering? Pennzoil has a $25 gift card promotion right now. You can get an Amazon gift card and use it to buy more oil.That's what I have in my cart for her right now. Too Funny
That's not going to do me much good, thank you very much though!! Her vehicle only takes 4.9 quarts.. 
I have a question, how do you find out about these rebates, on other oils? If you'd be Castrol, Mobil 1, Quaker State or whatever..

I ordered the TG oil filter.. I will be going to Walmart tomorrow or Tuesday for the oil.
Unless it’s a “easy” on oil car with a large sump, I don’t buy “extended” drains. Nissan QR25DE? I think Nissan sticks to 3750/7500mile OCIs.
I did extended drains on a Nissan Quest using Red Line and OE/Wix 51368 filters and 7K OCIs but that was 1980s engine tech before GDI/turbo/hybrid. That had a VG30 that strained to move nearly 3 tons of van around.

I think she's just going to go with, the Supertech synthetic oil 5000 drain interval every 6 months.
Good choice. When I was caring for a Frontier, I used Havoline FS for 5K drains.
