#93 of 100 synthetic oils .pay for itself? . . by captain2 Nov 13, 2008 (6:53 am)
just 'converted' my 08 SL AWD to Pennzoil Ultimate 5W-20 last oil change. Overall mpg has gone from 25.1 to 26.8, which sounds good.... BUT over the 3750 oil change interval recommmended by Nissan (too short for synthetic?) I will save approx. 9 1/2 gallons of gas. Even at $4/gallon,. I only recover about $40, at $2 less than $20. Are syn oil change more than $20 o(or $40 more costly - yep. Theerfore, it would seem, based on my experience, that gas would have to get up near $6 to cover the cost difference using the synthetic (in FE) . Is the more expensive oil better for the engine otherwise - maybe? Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 13, 2008 8:54 am) captain2 (Nov 13, 2008 11:14 am) steve_ (Nov 13, 2008 11:55 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: captain2 (Nov 13, 2008 6:53 am) Nissan has a 3,750 change interval for the Rogue? Or is that a dealer recommendation?   My '99 Quest has a factory oil change interval of 7,500 miles, and it's kicking along at 129,000 miles using regular oil at that interval (or longer ).

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 13, 2008 8:54 am) every 3750 or even worse for those that don't drive a lot - every 3 months. Unusual and quite excessive IMO - but I have a feeling that this all ties back to some oil consumption problems Nissan had back in 06 with the 2.5.

Replying to: captain2 (Nov 13, 2008 11:14 am) Well, the Edmunds Maintenance Guide says the normal service oil change interval is 7,500 miles.   There's no time interval listed in our guide. Oil is so good these days it's hard to imagine changing it every 3 months unless the miles were up there. Replies to this message: nicewarner (Nov 19, 2008 1:37 pm) steve_ (Nov 19, 2008 1:39 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 13, 2008 11:55 am) talked to a local dealer before I bought my Rogue... he was telling me that while the manufacturer might say 7500 miles, the dealer will "recommend" something far lower, like the 3K or 3 months we are all used to hearing, since that is direct revenue generation. that is the general reply I got from most of the folks I know that are in the business.

#99 of 100 Latest MPGs by nicewarner Nov 19, 2008 (1:49 pm)
current mileage: 7204 Purchased in April of 08. SL AWD, all options. did a full tank on the highway going up through Ohio and back home to Kentucky, averaged 27.6 MPG figured manually. trip computer was saying 28.3. average over last 3 tanks of normal driving, 60% in town and about 40% highway averaged 24.2. I have had no issues with the vehicle and the AWD has been nice in the rain as it feels very secure. oh, and I drive moderate.. not a heavy foot, but not feathering it either.
