If I could just change the oil once a year that would be great especially on the nismo. It looks a little more time consuming having to take off the plastic cover with its 16 - 19 bolts. There are many oils for longer durations until oil changes but no oil filters to match the oil. Going Royal Purple. The oil and filter change interval is 12k miles. Another interesting thing is Honda filters that you pay 4x as much for is the same piece of crap as a Fram. Wonder what the Nissan filter looks like and who makes it.
"The oil and filter change interval is 12k miles" wait, what???? you plan on changing the oil in your nismo every 12k miles? that is horrible!!!!

if your planning on using any ester based oil then you must maintain the 3 maybe 4k mile change interval. the natural ester oil will not last as long as a full synth.....
