Hi all, going to be doing an oil change the weekend (engine + autobox) last oil change was at Zedworld but this time im going to have ago myself. i can get mobil 1 0w40 fully-syn cheap at work, would this be too thin? and pass worn clyinders? also is dextron 3 ok for a gearbox change??

Mine is on that engine oil and is completely fine, on leaks or trouble. Mine has done around 58000mile.

I use that particular oil myself and its superb! :cool:

10w 40 mobil is ok to use , did not know they done a fullt synth in that grade though ?

I think op has said 0w40 not 10w40 or am i reading it wrong. Looks like the 1 is from the Mobil1

just got home after the oil change and very happy, engine seems quieter. only 3 months or 3000 miles till next change lol

2800mls left for me then ,lol what filter you use ?

for the engine standard nissan one

good good , would have used nissan or wix :)

i use silkolene pro s 10w/50 fully synthetic with a k&n filter.:D

This is just my opinion - and I expect many will not agree but 1 or 2 will - but if you're using a decent fully synthetic like Mobil-1, then 3000 mile/3 month changes are unnecessary/overkill.

 

I'd leave it at least 6k miles or 12 months even on a twin turbo. 3000 miles is not enough time for a fully synthetic oil to do its stuff. I'm sure Oilman posted a thread about that some time back......

most of our jeeps are now 6months or 7k, very true,fully synth's was designed with chemicals mixed in so it can last longer between changes, but its just habbit lol
