I ordered my RUCAs finally. My Tein tie rod ends came in too.

 

just finished changing the oil with castrol gtx high mileage and Nissan oil filter.

 

Adjusted the passenger side headlight, it was a bit low. Need to change the oil this weekend, it's overdue.

 

^ "jdizzle" you run dead dino juice?

 

ahha i guess

 

Old, high-mileage cars really don't like synthetic in my experiences. It's one thing if it was run on synthetic its whole life but most of us with leaky/smoky motors will only see an increase in oil consumption over conventional oil.

 

Plus dino oil is cheaper, we all know how 240 owners like to cut costs.

 

my car has seen mobile 1 synth for over 100,000 miles of its life. Burns about 1/2 quart every 3k. I just switched to 0w30 so ill see if they has any difference in burnoff (might be more than 1/2 qt)

 

i use royal purple

 

Dino oil is waaay more expensive than not changing it at all. Why bother!

Getting the car aligned today.

Just ordered an aluminum driveshaft from Shaftmasters. They're getting great feedback on Nico (forum sponsor), and I found their eBay store where they're kicking them out for $245 shipped. I've had an aluminum shaft before and it was kinda noisy, but this company says theirs have internal dampers. Neato.
