Could I request a quote for a air filter (drop in), [1]EAo13 oil filter, [3]quarts 75W-90 GL-4 MTF, one case [12 qts] of 100% 5W-30. Could I also receive a quote for a larger volume case, maybe in 1 gallon containers in both the 100% and XL series?

Sorry to bug you about this noob question, but my car has had oil consumption issues with Mobile1 supersyn 100% 5W-30, about a quart every 3000 miles. should I run with a slightly heavier weight oil, like 10W-30? I read that on the org somewhere that people were thinking that it was the thiness of Mobile1 5W-30. I live in the bay area in california, weather hottest= 100F / [mountains] coldest= 0F.

No intentions to step on talkinghorse's toes here, but...
Yes, oil being thin can promote consumption, and switching to a higher viscosity grade can definitely help. On the other hand, sometimes just switching to a better oil can help consumption, even if it's in the same viscosity grade.
I'd stick with Amsoil 5w-30 for now. It's a very very good oil that is clearly superior to most grades of Mobil 1. If that doesn't fix your consumption, try Amsoil Series 2000 0w-30, which is even better (and can also stretch your oil change interval well past 10,000 miles, depending on your driving). If that doesn't work, you definitely want a higher viscosity grade. From Amsoil's product catalog, I'd suggest the 5w-40 European Car Formula (http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/afl.aspx), which is also a great oil and gives great results on a very wide variety of engines.
Just FYI, the viscosity grade doesn't always tell you everything: Mobil 1 5w-30 is actually thicker at operating temperature than Mobil 1 10w-30 or Amsoil 10w-30. If you really want to know what's thicker and what's thinner, you have to look up the actual viscosity figures (measured in cSt) at 100 degrees Celsius. For example, Mobil 1 5w-30 is 11.3 cSt at that temperature, whereas Mobil 1 10w-30 is 10.0 cSt and Amsoil 10w-30 is 10.7 cSt -- all in the 30-weight range, but in different parts.
thanks for the heads up and your enlightenment about the differences in oil viscosity's. will definetly take your advise, cool man
Sent you a PM with the cost and ordering information. I will also provide you with a free, 6-month Preferred Customer membership with this order, as stated in my PM to you.
Concerning your oil consumption, viscosity is only one part of it and minor variations within the same grade really won't make that much of a difference. However, other factors, such as volatility (the oil's evaporation under high temperature operating conditions) and the oil's resistance to breakdown can make a difference. AMSOIL offers much lower volatility than competing oils, and lower is better. The fact that AMSOIL lubricants resist evaportion so well does several things for you: it can lower oil consumption; it keeps engines very clean; and the oil resists chemical breakdown longer, providing better protection and enabling the user to safely extend drain intervals.
The PM I sent is pretty lengthy as it contains a lot of info. Pls send me an e-mail or give me a call if you need to discuss. I can also e-mail you tech data bulletins on any AMSOIL product and some very informative brochures (test and comparison data) for your reference.
I would like a quote for 5 quarts of AMSOIL synthetic 75W-90 GL-4 oil shipped to 95130. Thank you.
Not a problem...glad to help. Tried sending you a PM, but your account is not activated...I suspect that's because you are newly registered. Pls drop me an e-mail and I will respond with the cost and ordering info. thx...
Hey dude. Im looking for a stock air filter for my stock air box 03 nissan maxima SE. (mouthful... lol)
I loved your cone filter for my frankencar but im going back to stock and i need the stock air filter. get back to me. thanks man
Nice to hear from you again...and it's good to hear you were pleased with the cone-filter. I've sold a lot of the Ea filters to our members (both stock and cone-type) and the feedback has all been extremely positive. I also sell a lot of these to Titan owners, and they all report better performance and somewhat better fuel economy.
I can get the stock (rectangular) filter for your max, and it's made from the same material as the induction filter you previously bought. These filters are guaranteed for 4 years, 100,000 miles with annual cleanings...just as with the induction filter, these are dry-type filters and are easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. I use this filter in my own car.
Sent you a PM with the cost and ordering information...I look forward to hearing from you.

hey, from what i read, 6 speed tranny needs 3 quarts of gl-4 fluid right?
and you say you recommend 6 quarts for the drain and fill....
so how much would that be total shipped?
Yes, 3 quarts of 75w-90 GL-4 (AMSOIL MTG) for your manual transmission.
If the car were an automatic, I generally recommend folks have 6 quarts of ATF on-hand as a drain/refill can require anywhere from 4.5 to 5.5 quarts...it just depends.
Pls clarify what you need (ATF or MTG) and can send you the cost.
atf or mtg?
atf = automatic transmission fluid? im guessing mtg since mine is a manual.... is that what you're asking? im confused..
You will need AMSOIL 75w-90 GL-4 Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Oil (product code MTG) for your 6-speed...and you will require 3 quarts.
Sent you a PM with the cost and ordering information.
