I've heard mixed reviews. Some people are saying that the VQ engine doesn't like Mobil 1 5w30. Does Infiniti have an oil certification program? I know BMW frowns upon Mobil 1 5w30, as they claim it runs leaner (less viscosity) than other synthetic blends.

Feedback?

 

where'd you hear that the VQ doesnt like Mobil1?? hundreds of people here have been using mobil since there first oil change (myself included) and have had 0 problems.

There are some threads around bashing M1. I have used it since day 1 and will keep on.

 

I dunno - was planning to switch, then did some searching around and found the same thing, lots of negative feedback on Mobil 1 in the VQ. Since I can't find German Castrol, and am too lazy to find Amsoil, guess I'll just keep running Castrol dino.

 

i read this also. i ran M1 on my old car(tho i was running 0w-40) and my sister current car(5w-30). never had any problem. the inside of my engine was spoltess after 60k miles(been chipped since 20k, turbo enigne).

 

i've been using mobil1 since the first change. at change four, i'm switching to Q advanced engine. mobil1 has been great, no problems. i'm switching because man, we put Q in my friends turbo Z and you can tell there is a difference.

 

what is q advanced engine?

interesting....where would one find q power??

 

oh yea ive seen that stuff before...if i find a place that uses it ill def give it a shot. i got 2300 miles now and for the past 2 fridays that ive been off i forgot to get the oil changed.

 

wal-mart or any autoparts store...

thats funny because the last conversation i had with the VQ engine he clearly stated that he LIKED Mobile 1 5w30
