Always checked cold in the morning; never seen a difference in the level from being warm...Also used extended life Mobil 1 5w/30.

It's not personal, but I would be afraid if you work on my car.

Assuming you are actually a Nissan Tech with three years of experience, then ignorance is not the problem.

That doesn't leave a whole lot of options, bless your heart.

The oil capacity in the manual and your chart is based on an empty engine. When you drain the oil of your engine, you will not get 100% all of it out.



What? So then if you knew how to work on your own, you’d bring it to the dealer?
