Glad to hear good things about it. I was gonna get a Tacoma but changed my mind a few months ago. Once I have my 5 grand saved up for a down payment I'm buying a 2024 Frontier. My Subaru outback is a piece of temperemental junk and I can't wait to trade it in for a good old fashioned V6.
@@Jason-Samko Hope so. Buy a Subaru they said. They're reliable they said. Pfff... My outback has given me nothing but problems since the day I bought it 5 years ago.
I've always used penzoil ultra platinum. It's great. I get better fule economy with it, and the oil has very little evaporation. Also it comes on sale regularly so it's not that much more expensive than conventional oil.
Amsoil in everything from the 37 year old Nissan to the lawn mowers. Measurable gas mileage increases, less oil change labor with their recommends extended intervals, and any time I pop a vakve cover to set valves, its as clean as new in there. No sludge whatsoever. Their full synthetic is the real deal, and they beat everyone else on standard wear scar tests. Not cheap to buy, but less changes and longer engine life, plus 5% or more increase in fuel economy, is a good payback. I don't sell their stuff, just use it and get the preferred customer 25 % off.
Same here, my friend. When it comes to Amsoil... I'm a believer. My F150 5.0 takes 8 quarts... so an oil change using Amsoil is not cheap. But, it's well worth it. Peace of mind. My mower has a Briggs Intek, 24hp. I've been using Amsoil Small Engine motor oil in it since day one. That engine is at 820 hours!
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 I went to their small engine oil even in the tiller and pressure washer, etc. The communists here in CA outlawed gas small engine sales, so I've gotta try to make them last. I figure they run wide open with no oil filter and just a fan to cool them, so I have to give them an advantage. A buddy has the dreaded 5.4 Ford. He just forked out a fortune for a new engine, and I told him Amsoil would be a good investment for that .
Ahh yes, the great oil debate. It's the equivalent of talking politics and religion, it'll never get resolved! The bottom line is, with normal driving habits and conditions, any synthetic blend or full synthetic is going to work just fine as long as it's changed in a timely manner coupled with a quality oil filter. End of debate, move on with life lol.
@@Jason-SamkoI’ve always done 3,500 mile changes. Too soon? Probably, but I’ve never had engine failure, sludge buildup, or any internal failure in anything I’ve owned. Refer to the comment 👆 pick a synthetic, run it and change it at 5k or before. Bam
I do 7,500 (ish) with full synthetic, never had any issues. Basically, when the oil monitor is at 25%, I'm planning when in the next week or two I'm gonna go get it done.
The oil debate man it can go forever hehe. But when i work on cars I will always still change 3-4k miles...also the ball joint problem, be like oh noooo honey i have a recall for my ball joint 😮 i can fix it though....titan swap excuse 😂
I do five just because it’s easier to keep up with everyone who drives our trucks knows 5,10,15,20,25 but better to do more than less all these manufacturers says 10 but that’s just to far for hard driving.
Try the material data safety sheet MDS should list all the components. If the oil is tested for the correct viscositys at the correct temps ie0-30 then it should perform correctly I would think
Fanboys are in such denial right now that they always and I mean always bring up 15-20+ year old Toyotas and act like they still have the same reputation they had back then. “My ______ has ______ miles and still runs like new (yea right). I wanna see _______ do that.” lol literally every single fucking time.
You know if companies would just build these vehicles better maybe they’ll last and I’m not changing my mind about older trucks they don’t have all the junk as all these newer ones and that’s why I steer clear on them and nobody can tell me differently
I read somewhere synthetic oils falls in three categories…grade 3 is rated up 7,000 mile oil change, grade 4 is up to 15,000 miles change and grade 5 up to every 25 mile oil change ..varies brand to brand… Believe what you what too… There is a difference in each grade..higher the better..or more slippery… But oil filters not all are equal too…so longer in between oil changes needs a matching oil filter also…please research this further…
The key take away is there is no reason to go longer than 5k miles between oil changes. Oil will still be good, filter will still be good and nothing is breaking down or sludge happening. 5k oil changes for the win
Bobs the oil guy for oil info. Mobile 1 was sued for this very thing decades ago. Nissan GTR engine engineer says if you want your vehicle to last 300,000 miles or more use the cheapest oil you can find and change it every 3000 miles….
@@JohnJones-ff4nu I'm a firm believer in changing oil every 3k with conventional and 5k with full synthetic oil is the smartest thing you can do for your engine
Please let us know everything about how our cars spy on us and how we can prevent this. Thanks. My insurance company does not need to know how fast I drove today. Just take my money and be happy.
@@martinmdl6879 I have talked about it in a few of these latest new videos in my truck News Playlist. Inside cameras that monitor you and your attitude. Tech that feels how aggressive you are driving and will call a psychiatrist for you or pull the car over automatically if you ate driving to aggressive. Etc. It's gonna get crazy
@@fitoaguirre8766 small amount of trucks created in a couple month date range. Still glad I picked up the frontier with what I’ve seen happening with the new Tacoma and Tundra. My wife’s SUV is a Toyota which has been great. It’s strange reading comments like yours, like are you just so bad off in life you want to see other people have problems? Go outside, enjoy life. Don’t be so beholden to a brand you have to wish other peoples stuff to have problems. It’s sad man.
Yoo so that's not a bad recall... if you work on cars... The amount of bad joints people ignore.... Is crazier 😂 like if Toyota had this recall, it's pretty minor, also you could just upgrade to a titan ball joint after Market, share parts lol.
I'd SURE rather change a $50 ball joint than a $30,000 Tundra engine. In and out of the dealer in an hour or two. Done. Very simple as far as recalls go, and it's apparently a vendor mistake, NOT any bad engineering design by Nissan. Shows how desperate a Nissan hater is to find something to gloat about.
@@TheCdnBacon even if i owned a frontier that was in the recall. Id have zero concerns. parts are available and its a 1 hour fix. Its what I call a happy easy recall.
@fitoaguirre8766 - Yep there they go, driving away from the dealership after and easy 1 hour ball joint replacement 👋🏼 Unlike the new Tacomas with their busted transmissions and goodness knows whatever else issues they have sitting at the dealership because there are no parts available.
