I had posted this before but wanted to get some more opinions. If I use Mobil 1, what is the ideal filter to use with this? Is the OEM one okay or should I get the Mobil 1 filter??

Any opinions on that.

Thanks.

 

I like the Nissan filters, but the OEM filter for our G's is small, so my dealer recommended the larger Maxiama/Altima filter : p/n 15208-9E000

 

Well no one has asked the magic question? Why is synthetic better and how does it give me more HP and better gas mileage? Sythetic oil is manufactured and has consistant sized molecules, this gives an even coating of metal parts for better lubrication. More protection means you can run a thinner oil and have the same protection. All of the studys I have read have shown Mobil 1 to be the best. Yes you should run petroleum based oils, valvoline, havoline (not a parafin based oil like Penzoil, Quater State) for breakin. The extra protection of a sythetic will hamper breakin, the rings will never seat, you actually want the extra friction during breakin. Sorry it's to late to look for links, I'll post them tomorrow.

 

how many liters we need to change for the engine oil?
also which to choose between 10w30, 5w30, 5w40...?
is motul 300V oil any good?

 

can someone answer my question?

 

You can just go to Walmart and get their oil for $20 for Mobil 1 (5 quarts). It depends on where you live as far as grade. If its cold and lots of different climates, I'd go with the 5W-30. If its warm year round, then I believe 10W-30 is the recommended.

 

So if I were to start using mobil 1, would I have to change all my fluids or can I just change the oil?

 

You don't have to change anything else to start using Mobil1 oil.

 

aynone can find that one chart that was posted awhile ago which showed tests results for the diff oils and wat kind of metals were found after the test and i believe mobi1 was on the bottom somewhere with the worst test results and castrol being the best

 

any1 use mobile 1 extended performance?

 

Hey guys this from 5 years back. Mobil 1's formula's have changed since then and is no longer considered the best. Only oil of there's that is worth anything is their 0w-40 Euro formula. Before you can call bull****, one example is the GTR.

 

I have seen some UOA from M1 EP and they come out much better then Normal M1

 

This chart....^....is a very good example/reason why I'm using AMSOIL 10w/30 synthetic!

same chart is the reason why i run GTX for 1/2 the cost of AMSOIL

but lately i've been thinking of trying them out with a UoA, my GTX UoA showed great wear at 4200miles.
