Question? Are you doing your own oil changes or are you relying on the stealership to do so? I know three different stealerships that would put 6 quarts in my Juke when it only requires 4 3/4 quarts with change. Just curious if this is all your own determinations or what a dealership may be telling you to get you to buy another car...
Is ester oil apart of full synthetic oil? I'm using full synthetic oil so I don't know if maybe that has something to do with it, because I was doing high revs and a lot of racing around. My oil must be burning clean because there isn't any black smoke coming out of my exhaust? But yes the stealership is changing my oil due to the fact of following the rules to keep the engine warranty. Otherwise I'd change the oil myself.
