Q: I have a 9 maxima with around 102k miles on it. The previous owner used regular oil at the jiffy lube. However i would like to change the oil myself using mobil 1 Synthetic oil. I hear that it keeps the engine clean and running smoothly. I just want to know is it okay to change now? Any feedback?
A: 10w-30 Mobil 1 would be a good choice for oil. It's highly recommended by the guys at maxima.org whether it's full synthetic or not. Don't buy any crap about your engine having "quite a bit of wear" that thing has hardly any miles on it seeing as it's a VQ30DE, it and the previous VG30 engine are known to last 200K miles or more before a rebuild and often over 300K. There is no reason not to change aside from price. Which is why my 94 gets regular Mobil 1 which is partially synthetic from what I hear.
