i use to run mobil 1 5w30 and then i switch to royale purple 5w30 with a k&n oil filter, and i have had no oil burning issues and no problems. and the fsm says that nissan recommends a wierd oil viscosity of 7w30.

Surprised so many of you guys trust Mobil 1 with so many better synthetics out there! I'm running Royal Purple, next change the 20w50 goes back in though and I'll probably run Motul now that I can buy it locally.

I suppose so, depends on what you're doing over those 3k miles though.

nizmo zilvia oil is not just oil. Many factors come into it. If you want your engine to last and be cheap about it... get valvoline.

Mobil 1 is complete s***, stop using it. For reasons why... use google.

Oils to use in order:LubromolyMotulAMS OilRoyal PurpleValvoline (Don't judge. Do some research, this stuff is awesome... and cheap)Quaker State Q... if none of the above.

Greddy is made by an outside source. As is HKS, ARC, etc..
