2010 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
15K Miles & 7 Months Later - GREAT!
 See my previous posts for more info under Third Timer.   Just want to clarify this car does not require Ester type oil which some dealers are charging over $90 to replace at oil change time.  Nissan recommends this type oil, but any synthetic 5W30 oil will suffice.  You can also use NON-synthetic oil as long as you change it every 3000 miles.  Do not waste your money for $100 oil changes! Ester is a component of synthetic oil formulas, not some mystical oil type only Nissan makes!  Don't be fooled!   Also, premium gas is recommended but not required!  Need a minimum of 87 octane.  Reference Nissan Owner Man.  I highly recommend this vehicle...a fantastic value!
