time for an oil change


i use only synthetic (Mobil 1 or castrol)

it summer time here in nyc and i was debating whether to go 10w30 or stay at 5w30?

 

Just stay at the 5w30. It's what you've always used right?

 

yes but ive only had one oil change since i switched to synthetic so really i only had 5w30 in so far

 

also what kind of oil filter should i get

 

I usually stick with the stock Nissan oil filter. Are you modded at all? Also how long have you had your car? I usually change my oil every 4000 miles.

 

4qt Royal Purple 5w30 + 1 qt Royal Purple 10w30....& a fram oil filter .... if you want to do it right

 

or just use 0w30.... our cars love this oil

 

ya use a fram oil filter if you want pieces of cardboard floating inside your engine :/

 

0w30... is that safe? sounds off.

ok lets clear things up............. i am purchasing oil at autozone or strauss... lol..

what are my options

 

Royal Purple with a K&N Gold Performance Oil Filter

 

how many qts do i need to buy,,,, 5 or 6


i have a 2006 6mt

Mobil 1 is a good oil. Castrol is not a synthetic oil in the traditonal sense of the term, but merely a highly refined petroleum oil, as many, "synthetic", oils today are.

A sythetic oil has vastly greater film strength than a petroleum oil has, so the lightest viscosity possible will provide the best lubrication, protection, horsepower, engine cooling, performance and fuel economy. A true PAO synthetic oil in a 0W-30 viscosity, (like AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30, or Mobil 1 0W-30 if you want to spend more), is a fine choice.

The oil filter with the greatest filtration capacity that will filter down to the smallest dirt particles possible to prevent needless engine wear. Ea oil filters lead the industry, followed by Mobil 1 and possibly then Purolator. Don't spend $4.50 for an oil filter to, "protect", an egine worth thousands. Penny wise and pound foolish.

What are the High Temperature/High Shear, (HT/HS), test results with that oil?
