Valve cover change with pictures

[dawgn86]

I just changed my valve cover gaskets on my 2006 Pathfinder and wanted to show what the cams looked like at 182k miles

regular 5k oil changes with Mobil 1 5w30 and Nissan filters.

Looks good!

 

[Trav]

Looks great, a lot better than the one running Amsoil.

 

[joekingcorvette]

Looks great!

Trav you beat me to it!

There's no need to run any wizz bang oil; as seen here readily available Mobil 1 on 5k OCIs keeps an engine spotless

And quite frankly M1 on 10k OCIs look just as good.

 

[The Critic]

Looks good. Did you also replace the valve covers themselves?

 

[MRtv]

I'm going to throw this onto the table. Yeah, Mobil 1 is good. One among us said just as good as Amsoil. I wonder though if the results that we see documented here could also be achieved with Warren produced Synthetic oil? Just asking.

That vehicle has done well. Very clean. I hope mine looks that good at those miles. Glad to see the oil was changed at what I would agree is a reasonable OCI.

It could look that good using any conventional oil, but I thought M1 was a wiz bang oil? Certainly a great oil.

I did not. I checked the spark plug tube seals and they all looked good

Looks good

The key is 5K

Of course, but the message received is "Mobil 1"

^^^^^

That what I'm think too Trav.

I don't use amsoil because of their sales and marketing practice, but thought that their oil wasn't bad. Is it really true that this looks better than one running amsoil?

Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Beauty! Goes to show that a good oil and reasonable OCIs will do great things for your engine.

 

[ARB1977]

5K even with conventional oil would look just as good.
