OIL FILTER and OIL POLL !!!

[ZULU]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what is your preference in Engine oil and oil filter... Let's here em all and some info maybe about why you decided on what you are running....

I just wanted to get an idea so I know what to run in my 95.

[USCS14DUDE]

Amsoil all the way, if i put anything else in it my car doesn't run the same...at least to me it doesn't.

[marshun]

i use castrol syntehtic. but i change it out every 2k. :P

[Griffin240sx]

Mobil-1 Synthetic (5w-30) and a K&N hi-perf oil filter...

[ZULU]

anyone else ?

[240 Trainee]

well, I used valvoline Max life 20w 50 in my 214,000 mile KA, and fram filters. But, for the new CA, I will be using 10w 30 Mobil 1, and I'm not sure about the filters. probably napa brand. maybe go to the dealership. where do you get the k&n ones?

[HIGHLIFE1]

mobil i 15w50, and a fram filter. i put in some lucas oil additive just for good measure, it helps prevent dry starts

Valvoline and an filter.

[ZULU]

very creative REx....

I heard that the OEM nissan oil filters were supposed to be best.

[BadMojo]

Same as Rex...Valvoline Durablend, OE filter.

[ZULU]

no one else uses engine oil and oil filters ?

mobil 1 10w-30 with nissan filters for my sohc and plan on doing the same for my sr as well.

Mobil 1 Full synthetic 5w30 w/ Purolater pure 1 oil filter

[niznos]

I just switched from Mobil 1 10-30 to Castrol Syntech 10-40. Would have stayed with Mobil, but they don't make a 10-40. Wix filter, the local dealer wants too much for their parts plus their parts guys range from indifferent to just plain rude, so I don't go there unless I've got to.

mobil high-milage 20-50, stp filter

[navysnail]

im usning penzoil 10w-30 and fram filter, if i ever swap i will go mobil 1 and k&n filter

[zion]

Redline 20w50 and K&N Filter.

240_trainee: You might want to run something thicker than 10w30 in that CA. Redline, Mobil 1 synthetic, and the K&N Filters are all available at Advance.

[themadscientist]

Mobil-1 filter and oil. Strawberry-flavored motion lotion for the back seat work;)

[allthrottlenobottle]

Penzoil 5W30 with penzoil filter,sometimes a quakerstate filter but im not to partial to them!

[themadscientist]

Penzoil, ewww!

[allthrottlenobottle]

haha! remember madscientist i live in canada and stuff like mobil 1 is uber expensive!!!! i change oil every 3k due to travling to work everyweek. distance is about 600k round trip.so penzoil's a little cheaper when you go through that much oil!

[themadscientist]

Hey, I'm paying $4.00 a gallon for gas, we all have our crosses to bear:( I keep hearing there is parrafin in that stuff, do you see any deposits from using it?

[allthrottlenobottle]

madscientist:4 $ a gallon?!(4gallons =4.5 [email protected]/L=3.70$) thats about what we canucks pay but thats for regular,not even midgrade!. ouch!ya i do notice a little bit of deposits that blow thru but like i say i run @ about 120km/h for 3 hours straight twice a week to go to work so alot of the time i dont notice any irregularities to do with the oil. but i do agree with you that mobil 1 would be a better choice for oil in my car. do you flush your engine out at oil changes?

[navysnail]

im using penzoil now, but if there is parafin in it, then forget it. synthetic is to expensive for me ($40 a week about), what normal oil would you recomend

[allthrottlenobottle]

anybody use castrol semi-synthetic?

[nissandrift]

i did, I used the Castrol. Now Im using full synthetic. I'd reccomend full over semi.

[IveBeenBad]

PureOne filter and Mobil 10w30

[MaKaVe1i]

castrol 20w50 synthetic blend and a oem filter

[bruinbear714]

I use the OEM nissan oil filter, and Pennzoil/Mobil/insert your brand here 10w-40 non-synthetic, both changed every 2.5-3k.

Since I haven't seafoamed my 240 yet, i've been using cheaper stuff - just regular mobil 10w30 and OEM Nissan filter. After I clean everything out with seafoam, I'll switch to what I *like* to use, which is Mobil1 Full Synthetic, with K&N Oil Filter.
