I have used something called Tufoil in the past with great results in several cars and trucks and it works so I am sure that the MotorKote you use works on the same idea. I would use an additive on my new to me 2012 PF the only thing I am worried about is if I do have a motor issue during the warranty time Nissan is quite clear in the manual do not add any oil additives to your oil so that is the only thing keeping me from adding anything.CPLTECH wrote:I use a product called MotorKote for several reasons [Walmart carries it now]. One is that the PF may sit in the driveway a few days unused and I don’t want to worry about possible oil starvation. Another is reduced friction, which my trusty 1989 Stihl chainsaw can attest to. Anyway, shortly after the PF purchase at 67K, the motor developed a whining noise [timing chain?]. The MK made it go away. Now has 98K.
Pretty much par for the course these days. They seem to work fine...i've had sampling done at 10k intervals on synthetic and the oil was well within spec.Kestral wrote:I just picked up a Nissan oil filter for my PF from the local dealer and I cant believe how small the filter is! It looks like it belongs on a push mower!?
Been using OEM when the oil change is 19.99 at the dealer; otherwise when I do it I've used Bosch, Fram, and even the cheap Purolator from Walmart; never had an issue of noise with any of them.Kestral wrote:What oil filter are most of you running on your V6? And if you use the Nissan filter do you get any start up noise?
