I worked at a Ford dealer, if I told you how great Fords were AND there was plenty of evidence that they were great, why should I NOT talk about them? ...even if I were a dealer??quote:

ToyotaNSaturn & Jason - this thread WAS STARTED by an A....l Dealer. It was NOT STARTED by a person seeking information and advice
If it had been that would have added a different slant indeed
This range of products is well covered here via the "search" function - it did not warrant a Dealer started thread IMHO

I don't see Ted pushing anything. He's an oil nut like us. What's wrong with that?? Just because he "sells" the stuff doesnt' matter when the truth is told about the product. This goes along with my Ford comment above...

I have no doubt that TooSlick ( Ted )has a lot to contribute but I do not believe BOB intended this Board to become a marketing enclave
Don't worry...it hasn't been...

Check out how the "Who is using Mobil 1 R?" thread to see how it was "hijacked" and completely lost the plot!
Well, that's the way it goes around here!

Ben has it! Game. Set. Match!
Yeah, enough of the fun and games. Time to go back to work....so, what is it about the Nissan 2.4L engine that is problematic? Does this engine have a tendancy to shear? Thanks.quote:
"Problem" engines like the 3.0L, Toyota V-6 and the 2.4L Nissan engine used in the Altima, or other engines that badly shear the oil.
Doug, with all due respect, this was good reading until this post took it off topic! What about the rest of us who are absorbing and appreciating the rich supply of information?quote:

TooSlick,
I own a 94 altima (125,000 miles) with the "problem engine". The only oil it ever burned was Mobil 1 10w-30 Tri Syn. Please elaborate on its problems. I know it has a small sump with large filter. The manual says 4 quarts but is really 3.5 to 3.75 total.
What about using the AME 15w-40 since 40 weight are an option on this older vehicle versus the more expensive S2k 5w-30?

My 01 Altima consumed M1 too. Liked to use 5W30 weight more than 10W30, my (our) experience is an example of what he's pointing out.
