Question for those who do their own oil change

^Isn't the plastic thing just a splash shield?

Yeah, but it has a thousand screws (or so it seems when you're under there).

I dont think Canada sells WiX filters though, I have been checking around locally and my local Canadian Tire and Walmart dont seem to carry it.

In Canada, you can just stroll into a NAPA and get their in-house filter; silver or gold, they're both made by Wix.

If it wasn't against the rules, I could supply the best filters out there. Pwnin is there some thing I could do to be the Amsoil guy for our section? I'd even sell them at my cost plus shipping.

I know I saw that but my closest NAPA is 9 kms away...I think I will just use a K7N oil filter

[speedeast]

K&N Filters are great, so you don't have to worry about quality there.

Umm... is 9kms supposed to be far?

Well I can drive 1.5 for a K&N or 9 for the WIX...

I can also grab a hotdog at the place that is 1.5kms away hehe

30 Km for lunch.wow.

I work in downtown Toronto itself, right opposite where the G20/G8 is happening..theres like fences all around my office and I need special access to it too...so I usually walk a couple of minutes for food

[CanuckQx4]

Ya I live in mississauga and drive to toronto atleast 3 times a week for lunch, that was my 30km

Well oil has been changed

pretty simple..hardest part was locating and removing the oil filter otherwise all went well

Thanks for the advice guys!!

I changed the oil and filter on my 2019 Rogue. I poured the 4 & 7/8 (28 oz.) in the engine, I check the oil level after giving the oil time to drain into the pan and when I pull to dip stick the oil on the stick is right on the tip if the stick. The 'H' on the stick is over an inch away, is this normal? The Haynes says it should be up by the 'H'..... The Haynes also says it holds 4 & 7/8 quarts I put in another 2 quarts before it read on the 'H'!!! What's up?

[VStar650CL]

The 4-7/8 is correct for a QR25. If it's reading low after putting in the right amount, running it, and giving it a few minutes, it generally means the drains in the head are blocked and oil from the top end isn't making it back to the pan. Is the motor sludged?
