Spooler

I read your story. It sucks. You can get a engine from time to time that the rings just won't seat. The older inline 6 L28 engines could be a pain. Many older tech's that I have talked to said they would take them out and run the crap out of them with no water when they changed an engine. I thought that was crazy but it must of worked for them. I would short change this first change at 1000 miles if it was me. I also would suggest to change the oil every 6 months or 3,000 miles. My wife's 03' Maxima will eat some oil at 80,000 miles if I let it go over 6 months. She doesn't drive that much and is only 6 miles to work. It kills the oil. The worst kind of a commute, a very short one.
