Hello everyone,
I have a 2013 Altima with the 4 cyl QR25DE. This car is driven a lot -- on average, 190 miles per weekday. The OCI called for in the manual is 7.5k miles for "normal". This equates to an oil change every 2 months. The dealer is cheap, but instead of using OW20 (presumably called for to get the advertised 30 mpg) they use typical 5W30 conventional. The manual states that 5W30 is acceptable, but not preferred.
Questions:
1. Worth it to switch to the more expensive 0W20?
2. With this many highway miles, should we extend the OCI (presumably with the OW20)?
Thanks!
