Ok, my first post. I try to change the oil in all my cars so that I get the right oil and oil filter. Plus, there's just something "good" bout doing it yourself. Course everyone here knows that. My cars: 97 Maxima SE 5spd (my daily driver); 03 Murano SL(wife's); 92 Acura Legend Cpe(son); 98 Accord EX V6(daughter #2); 96 Accord EX V6(daughter #1). Anyway, Mobil 1 is my oil of choice HOWEVER I have been reading a bit that Mobil 1 may not be 100% synthetic. I'll have to study up on that one. As to filters, I try to use Purolator Pure One's if I can. If not OEM is good and Mobil 1 oil filters are good too. Here's a link to an oil filter study that I thought was pretty interesting. Caution here, don't know how current the study was. Check it out and see what you think. BTW, Amsoil MTF in my Maxima tranny.....smooth. Used to be a Amsoil distributor that frequented the Maxima forums who'd give you a great deal. Haven't been here long enough to see if this forum has 'em. Lastly, why am I here. I'm thinking bout getting a Civic Si Sedan w/ Nav....TW. Just test drove it yesterday and was very pleased. I can't believe how happy that engine is to rev. The salesman told me not to go over 5k so I max'd at 4k. Very nice car. Just have to convince the wife now.
