Changed the oil in my new Altima today and was shocked it called for synthetic 0-20 weight. What the hell, what is this for zero tolerence fittments? I meàn thats like water right?
Is this what they are running in engines these days? I don't grt it. Showing my age again. Just in time for Lisa's dance! John |

QUOTE Are new car transmission and differential oils also lighter? The BRZ trans & diff call for 75W90, and I was able to use the same fluid in both. |
