Esther Oil?

CoolZ

Thanks for all of the great info and friendly responses! A few questions:
Is everyone sold on the magnetic plugs? Wouldn't most of these trapped particles drain out anyway with the old oil?
And clumping them together, couldn't this do more damage if a clump broke free and floated it's way through the pistons?
If only the front end is on ramps, does the oil drain completely? Isn't it better to have the car level?

I had my oil changed yesterday at the dealership. The service guy asked if I wanted regular oil or esther oil for ($42?) more. So you can run either or many by implication. Since Nissan gave me a Gold Maintenance plan as compensation for my oil consumption/short block replacement, I took the esther oil. I also began my new oil consumption test. 1.8 quarts in 1900 miles.

I'm not sold on magnetic plugs but some here use them and also a magnetic oil filter sleeve.
Most, if not all, particles of sufficient size that will do damage to your engine will become trapped in the filter or drain out the oil pan when you change your oil. Filters are designed to not pass particles down to a particular size of about 30(?) microns. Any particle smaller than this may pass through the filter depending on its shape. Those that do pass will be circulated throughout the engine and some of these particles will become embedded in the journal bearings for example.
You can't completely drain the oil level or on jackstands. There is a small amount of about .6(?) litres that will not come out. This is stated in the service manual.
