I will try to put some info in this tread since somebody accidently searching may find it. The ester oils like Red Line and Amsoil are not like Mobil 1 and should be changed at 3K. they are not "long lived" oil that can take the claimed 15K miles that some oils advertise.

I use Amsoil. You're good changing at the Nissan recommended intervals (every 6000 km according to my owner's manual). However, I changed it more frequently initially: after break-in (2000 km), and when I installed an oil cooler. Now I'm on regular intervals.
Anyhow, this thread shouldn't even exist. There are numerous other threads on this forum about oil change intervals and what oils to use...these discussions have been done ad nauseum. I highly doubt anyone can bring news breaking info regarding esther oils, synthetic oils, etc unless there's been some huge breakthrough discovery made in the last few months. Please, if anyone has any further questions about the subject matter, do a search before posting! Posting (etiquette) and you

7000km after break in. I use Castrol Edge with the napa gold filter. Today 22,400 km it had not burned any oil.

BTW,
how often should I change my oil? I mean month-wise. I had my 1st free oil change at the dealership back in September. It will be 6 months in a few days and so far I only put about 2000 miles since. Is it a good idea to change every 3 months? so that means i'm due for an oil change? |
