i just passed 6k miles and im gona change my oil tomrow... what kind of oil should i get synthetic(what kind) or regular?

 

Mobil 1 with Purolator Pure One, Wix or Nissan OEM filter. Good luck changing it yourself if you have the full aero kit!

 

Recommand Mobil 1 pure with K&N oil filter until you get over 15000miles. use synthetic oil after your car gets over 15000miles (amsoil, Motul etc..). Good luck

 

dont have aero kit and ive done it myself on my car before

 

I'm a Valvoline fan. I wouls recommend the factory filter or a Wix.

 

I almost wish I didn't have the aero kit. The bottom engine cover makes oil changes way too difficult. For the first time in my life I actually paid somebody else to change the oil in one of my cars.

 

Do you have a pic of what you are referring to? WHy does the aero kit make it difficult?

 

there is a plastic cover with 10 or so bolts in it.

Annoying.. yes
difficult to deal with? NO

OK, difficult was a poor choice of words on my part. But it certainly slows down the process dramatically. My local Nissan dealer charges $35.95 for a Mobil 1 oil change. Factoring in the extra time it takes to remove the cover, I can't do it myself for that price. It's just been a little painful learning to trust others with my baby. In the long run, I'll be a better person for it. It is just a car after all!

 

we use a semi synthetic oil that does help extend the life of the engine

Did you know that the Pure One oil filter is bigger than the Nissan OEM? WHen I did my forst oil change, I compared the 2 and the Pure One seems to be longer but same diameter.
More area for filtration=teh cleanest !

 

anyone with experiences with Royal Purple?

 

royal purple is a rip off... oh and i used mobil 1 full synthetic

 

it seems damn near impossible to get an accurate reading with the crappy design of infiniti's oil dipstick.

 

[QUOTE=TLS][QUOTE=HotRodW]Mobil 1 with Purolator Pure One, Wix or Nissan OEM filter. There are 2 facotry filters you can use
15208-65f00 the shorter correct one
15208-9e000 the longer one for 2001 & down. The only difference is length. The Pure One is a version of the 2nd one.
