I've been an avid user of Mobil 1 5W30 since I've owned the vehicle and have no problems as well I've used Penzoil Ultra 5W30 here and there when on sale. As much as I love the Mobil 1, I'm wanting to switch to a 5W40 or 0W40 and can't decide which one and what brand. Why do I want to switch? 5W30 definitely brings out the valvetrain noise in my VQ35DE (quite common with Mobil 1 I've been reading) and I want to try something different just before winter hints to see how it preforms
1. What kind of vehicle you have
2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE
3. Where you live
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (COLD!)
4. How you drive (easy? hard? fast? slow?)
I usually am easy on my car but I definitely do spirited driving every now and then
5. What your daily drive is like (short trips? long trips? city? highway?)
I drive 80KM a day (M-F) and if I go anywhere besides work and back home, it will of course add more.
6. Whether your car has any known problems
No problems at all
