MJK, I have a 2009 has 130k miles on it. No oil consumption. Engine is wonderful. Pulls strong, corners and brakes like a dream. I get 16 mpg driving in city traffic. Lead foot. Cons: Dash instruments only partially working. Would cost $1500 to fix at dealer. I have a rattling noise at low...

How many days after you order did you get yours? I ordered last Friday and am out in Southern California.

Originally Posted By: WobblyElvis I ran 8,000 mile OCIs with conventional oil for 20 years without problems. 1,350 mixed city/highway miles per month. Non GCI engines. I often find synthetic oil on sale the same price so now I run cheap synthetic oil at 9,000 mile intervals. Mobil extended...

Originally Posted By: ARCOgraphite I would run the M110A filter not the smaller M108. I have the M1-10A (LEE /Champion NOTHING to do with Exxon except rebranding ) on My QR25DE ubquitous Nissan 4 pot. Unless you are running 2-3K highway miles a month I would not run a long OCI with any oil...

Originally Posted By: hallstevenson Infiniti has (3) service levels, one of which says 7500 miles for oil/filter changes. It does say "mostly highway miles" and in "temperate weather". That is just a generic suggestion though and "safe" for them to say. Otherwise, they recommend 3750 miles for...

Originally Posted By: Dyusik From what I have seen in the past is that the Nissan VQs are hard on oil, and shear them quite easily. As for extended OCI, I would be far more comfortable using a long drain A3/B4 oil, coincidentally a frequently used oil in those cars. Yes, the reading I have...

That's a good point. Sampling at 10k miles and seeing if the data supports pushing further.

Hi Guys, I have a 2009 Infiniti G37 and normally run OCI of 7000k miles with good results using Pennzoil Platinum and Mobil 1 Synthetic. I had Blackstone do an analysis and that is where I got my current OCI of 7000 miles. Yesterday I was at Walmart and purchased Mobil 1 Synthetic Extended...

I came upon these at my Walmart that I use on my Toyota's. Once you have a threaded oil funnel, you will never use anything else. My engines stay clean and you don't have to hold anything. Less mess, less cleanup. The Infiniti has a different thread and is recessed so I am on the hunt for...

Hi guys, I just bought an 2009 Infiniti G37 and was looking for a screw on oil funnel. I found an Assenmacher OFHON1033 online. Says it fits most Nissan's. I called the company and they had not actually fit tested one of these. Has anyone tried using one on an Infiniti? Does anyone have another...

I put a permacool filter inline and did the auto rx treatment. That way any crud dissolved was deposited to the filter. Afterwards when I replaced all the fluid, I put a new filter on there. Probably good for 50k interval with synthetic. Ken
