Welcome to DIG turbo world. They all get black and crappy-looking oil inside of 1K miles after a change, it doesn't matter what filter you use or what else you do. Juke owners have known all about it for a long time. Film strength is the ultimate determiner and not viscosity, and that's why full synthetic is the wise choice.II Kings 9:20 wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 4:56 pmThe oil filter for both the 1.5 and 2.5 is even smaller than the tiny Honda filters and there's room enough for a larger filter from the Nissan truck or the Honda XG7317. I don't know if that voids the warranty??
I got a pic of the oil. Nothing special, just typical brown oil. The greenish hue is not seen and the file is too large to attach. I wish I had a video. It was impressive water like brown fluid pouring out like a water fountain. This is the first where I’ve smelled pretty strong gas in the oil and I did my first oil change around 78/79 in high school.casperfun wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 7:31 pmDidn’t really care much about the crush washer, it would have been more interesting seeing the brownish green water-like oil.
I never really used crush washers until recently in the last 5-7 years and I thought those were the norm and I’m an old fart who changed oil since owning a 1990 pearl glow maxima; Drain plug sans washer.
Never really thought of oil smelling like gas either, since I never did notice that issue. Certainly weird, never knew much of that while changing oil.
Yep. Definitely going stock filter on the 1.5T through the 5/60. Might even let the dealer change the oil at 10k as recommended and I’ll do every 5K. Cheap insurance on a Turbo and yes, full synthetic on all my cars. I’ve owned 7 turbo cars and a few GDI, but this is my first turbo GDI.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 6:32 pmWelcome to DIG turbo world.

Using the truck filter on your 2.5 definitely won't void anything. The PR25 has been around since '19, long enough for everyone to know there are no issues with the bigger element. The 1.5 is another matter, it's still a quantity with no history. Technically Nissan would need to prove the filter contributed to a failure for it to void the warranty, but in the real world and not the legal one, it could have the effect of shifting the burden of proof from Nissan to you in the event of a catastrophe. So my advice would be to stick with the original part for at least the first couple of years, if not until the 5/60 on the drivetrain is up.
I use a program called Irfanview (search should find it quickly) to resize pictures when they are too large. I also host on Imgur and use a link from there for forum pictures. That way it is hosted on their site, not taking up room on the forum's server.II Kings 9:20 wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 8:04 pmI got a pic of the oil. Nothing special, just typical brown oil.

What model and year truck? I am a big proponent of using the biggest filter I can with the higher mileage change intervals.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 6:32 pmUsing the truck filter on your 2.5 definitely won't void anything.

I’ll need to confirm the interval on the 21 as my daughter has it on vacation right now but the 22 has a 10,000 mile oil change interval which I think is excessive for a turbo with conventional oilNMD wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 12:38 pmNot to hijack the thread or anything, but my VID keeps giving me reminders that my first oil change will be at around 6,200-6,300 miles. First I thought it an outrage, as I remember we discussed in a different thread and '20 had a 10K interval. Then I remembered '21 had a different engine, so I checked the manual and the interval there is 5K. What gives? Should I pat myself on the back? Does it really take driving habits and conditions into account and extends the interval as well as shortens it, or is the whole thing pretty much random?
Thanks on the picture size. If I use my laptop it’s not a problem. Posting from my phone is the big issue. As it turns out the oil just looks like regular black oil which why I haven’t bothered to repost it.C-ya wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 11:53 amI use a program called Irfanview (search should find it quickly) to resize pictures when they are too large.

While this is not exactly the same oil or viscosity, it’s worth a watch. Thanks for the link to the liquid Molly, as you know, it meets the Nissan requirement of SP. From what I can gather, SP is about fuel economy and not oil protection. None of these oils tested in the video below meet Nissan’s new SP requirement for the 1.5 L turbo engine. That’s not the point of this video. This is to illustrate how good Amazon basic synthetic oil is and how it outperforms this particular version of the expensive European liquid Moly.nikolace31 wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 7:31 pmWill be changing the oil on my Rogue with Liqui Moly Special Tec 0W20 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/specia ... escription
I am confident this is a great oil for this engine.
