Hi guys, first post (but I've spent the last two days searching and reading).
Anyhow, I've searched for the answer to this question but am getting conflicting information. I want to run schaeffer's 5w30 blend in my new 03 Xterra at my first oil change (scheduled at 3750 miles). I've seen suggestions for drain intervals with this oil at anywhere from 3000 miles all the way up to 12,000 miles.
I was hoping to get close to 5K or 6K oil change intervals with the 5w30 blend and the oem Nissan oil filter. Is this something I should shoot for, or should I change out earlier? Also, should I wait longer than 3750 miles to switch to the schaeffer's? I wasn't sure if Nissan used a moly factory fill in the Xterra like in the Honda's. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
