Only 1500 miles because I needed to use up 12 quarts of the stuff before my switch to synthetic and I wanted to see if the intake was sucking up dirt. The VOA for this oil shows JAG's point (http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000168): Copper 0 iron 0 Chrome...

I will be doing a VOA when I pick up some fluid at the dealership tor my cooler install. I will post it on the forums for people to see.

Thanks Molakule. Is Specialty Formulations working on something that may fall into this category?

OK I have done a search on this forum and the internet in general, but as of yet have not found my answer. I own an 05 with the 5AT, and Nissan Matik K is the fluid that is recommended. Those who use "D" its Dex III and synthetics that meet the requirement readily available; and those who use...

The funny thing is that he is certified SAE mechanic and owns his own performance shop. Its a very small shop but you would think he would keep up with lubrication technology.

I think his exact words were "if it stays in the engine that long, how can it be cleaning the engine." Sounds like he never heard of the stuff. And, oh yea, he did not forget to tell me to "use the Amsoil engine flush." After reading this forum for a while now I fell that AutoRx is the way to...

MolaKule - this was with 16K on oil, so I guess either I have good numbers or you have bad ones at least for the sodium and lead. Seeing that I had 4 x the miles you did and a K&N I guess I shouldn't be too worried about the silicone. Thanks for the reply.

palmerwmd - The engine has 48K right now. I have not really looked for the M1 SUV oil because I have had the amsoil in the pathfinder. I have heard good things about it. I have mostly stuck with amsoil because the more research I do the better it looks once you get past their propaganda (i.e...

To all those with informative posts thank you. For those who did not know which engine this was it is probably better that you did not give me any advise because you apparently are not familiar with the application. I appreciate all the posts meant to be productive. I will probably be going with...

I can't seem to edit my previous post so before I get flamed I know its spelled manual not manuak.

Like the title says, I want to know what the best 10w-40 synthetic motor oil for my application is. I am leaning towwards Amsoil because I have used the 5w-30 for the past couple of years. After reading this forum and taking the fact thatt I live in southern California (and my manuak says I can...

Thanks for all the advice. Coolant levels did not change during the interval, but I decided to Rx the engine anyway. I do drive down to San Diego every couple of months to take the family to the zoo which could account for the sodium. I'll chalk up the silicone to the K&N which did not fit...

What do you guys recommend. I have a 2001 Pathfinder with 48K on the vq35de engine and a 2003 tacoma with 16K on the 5vz-fe. The recommended viscocity for both is 5w-30 but both manuals say that you can use 10w-30 if temps are above freezing. I use 5w-30 synthetic oil in both. What are the...

I have $30 of oi (Amsoil 5w-30 ASL) l that only has ~1K miles on it. Can I wait or is it imperative that I flush/clean the engine? If it is necessary then should I use Amsoil flush or Auto Rx?

Pablo - It was about 10 months of use. 6 months into it (~10K) I changed the filter. It was my wife and my only car so it saw a little bit of everything. During the week it saw 2 15 mile trips daily (to and from work), then some shorter trips around town. On the weekends it usually saw one or...

Actually the sump is 5 qts, 5 1/4 qts if you include the OEM filter (very small), and 5 1/4 - 5 3/4 if you use the oversized Mobil 1 filter (M1-105). I used the Amsoil SDF that appears to be the same size as OEM.
