Ester Oil is Nissan's own brand synthetic oil, more like OEM product, it's not Mobile 1.

Anybody know how to tell the difference between an engine backfire and a popping exhaust? My FI TDX exhaust has been popping three or four times when I shut down the engine for the last two days. :confused:

Thanks for the info, but I don't feel any closer to understanding how to determine what the issue is. :) What I'm hearing though is that the issue is likely engine related and not exhaust. :ugh2:

In the harbor are 200, 300, and 400 foot yacht's.. He is waiting on the F1 race. Part of his Bucket List.

His "bucket" is like 40 times the size of my bucket..The basterd....hahaha

He won't adopt me..But I am up wondering about the house that I am about to go into contract on...

^^ good luck with that !! ...

Don't you just love the dealers...

^^ yup .. you would think that they actually have a nice cleaning cloth, and now how to wash them ..

Good morning, brothers and sisters. Ahhh... Saturday. It is the only day of the week when I feel like I am master of my own destiny. I am up before my wife and the dogs, enjoying some thread reading here and thinking about changing the oil in the 370 and doing some polishing on the 240 today (if it's OK with Mrs. onzedge).

Have a great day everyone!!!!!!!
