Mobil 0w-20 3525 miles '02 Sentra SpecV

[Bror Jace]

Captain, this is a really good result. I never got a result nearly good with my '03 SpecV.

I do remember my QR25DE was not particular to weight of oil ... and by that I mean I got the best fuel economy while using a mix of Schaeffer 10W30 & 15W40.

My problem was and is frequent short trips of 7 miles then many hours of cool-down before heading back again. I don't think I went much (if any) past 4,000 miles on a drain and they showed signs of a lot of fuel.

(My SpecV UOAs should still be here ... if you search)

I'll be posting a UOA from my new-ish Honda Civic soon ... maybe in a month.

Bror, thanks for chimming in. I'll be looking for that UOA of yours. Will it be for the Civic Si?

Now I cant decide on thick or thin.
I have penzoil LL 15W40, QS 5W30...

I'm almost considering going to get some 0W20 now..Maybe I'll just use up what I have here.

Have Chevron 10W30 in for an AutoRX rinse that I need to change out.

Captain, it's not an Si ... and I blew the collection anyway. I drained it all into a jug and (initially) forgot all about taking a sample. Maybe next time?

04SpecV, I can't help you there ... the QR25DE doesn't seem to be too picky about oil.
