Hey y'all,
How is it going oil lovers?
So today I had a fresh oil change, used the Pennzoil UP 5w30 plus a Nissan 15208-65F0E in my Nissan Maxima 2009 with 89k miles. Replacing the Amsoil 5w30 SS and Mobil1 M110 filter.
Back story the Amsoil was great, engine was smooth, idle purrs like a kitten I can not say if engine running if not looking at the tach. I also had Mobil1 M110 filter in there for the last OCI (4k miles, short trips, rush hour driving, frequent starts and stops). Had to add about a pint of make up oil last OCI to bring to H mark (never leaks, but burnt a bit).
I was very interested in the PUP for sometime now. Especially after it was the second winner in ProjectFarm Oil Round-up. Plus I am not that big fan on long OCIs and though I would be better spending less on a still top quality synth oil and change it frequently rather than a double priced Amsoil and also change it within 4k-5k miles.
This OCI I went with an OEM Nissan filter (used M110 for a long time but was concerned because Mobil1 calls for M108 for my engine), used a Nissan filter now per FSM (no oversizing).
First impressions are nice, engine still very quiet, with smoother idle, and power still strong (might dare to say engine seemed to pickup slightly now).
Will keep you updated if anything comes up and deserve more attention.
I may also add that this Pennzoil seems to make engine quieter than Mobil1 Adv synth 5w30.
Thanks
