So......It Finally Happened.....

Yes my friends, it happened! My G has hit the 60,000 milestone. My one time "spring chicken" is now a "baby boomer". I don't know whether I'm happy she made it there problem free or If I'm more saddened by the fact that her best days are behind her.

Regardless, in honor of her and this feat, I've decided to throw a Schedueld Maintenance Celebration. I've invited timing belts, in cabin air filters, crush washers, wiper blades, etc. But here is my dilema. The most important guest of all- the blood that keeps her heart pumping- The Oil has not been selected yet.

I'm currently running Royal Purple 5w 30 in her but this time I'm gonna give Amsoil a shot- for the engine, tranny, and differential. Only problem is, how do I get my hands on their product? I live in Maryland close to Baltimore and am wondering if any members here know of a retailer or shop that carries the products. Please let me know. I'm planning to do the maintenance this coming weekend

For the tranny I would keep Nissan Matic-S, Diff- AMSoil SVG, and there engine oil is good too. You can check on their site for local dealers. There are few on here too.

Well I have more than all of you, and I know my G's "Best Days" are still ahead.

60,000 isn't retirement, it's like turning 21

^That's funny.
What are we going to do if the US did finally decide to switch over???
We would have to start having to make posts like: "Yeah, I decided I'm going to get a set of coupe 483mm Rays for the sedan"

Is your bolt pattern 5x114.3? Is your tire width 245mm or 255mm? What size wrenches do you use on your car? Hmmmm?
