Need help on selection of motor oil

Dwight Frye · 10-27-2010, 07:13 PM

My problem with the Nissan ester oil as a do it yourself oil changer was that it cost over $14 per quart at the dealer when I paid the stinkin' 8.75% tax. I get Redline 5W-30 for just under $10 per qt. delivered right to my front door when purchased by the case. No comparison, especially when exactly what the Ester oil is (and isn't) is still being debated.

Valvoline Full Synthetic. Easily the best choice, in my opinion. Mobil 1 is overpriced and not any better.
