Number one complaint about the KA24E (Mid 90's Nissan 4 cyl) is timing chain rattle. I have used Mobil 1 since 5K and at 120K, still no rattle. The truck is 12 years old.

I had to replace the valve cover gasket recently and found some dark stuff laying in the crevasses. It was assembly lube. Absolutely no carbon or sludge buildup. You could eat off the top of the head. The body is starting to get some rust holes, but the engine still purrs like a kitten. Cold startup is a breeze.

I used Amsoil in my 1985 Cavalier and drove it to 270,000 miles. Most Cavaliers in the junkyards had less than 80K on 'em. I cannot say for certain that the synthetic oil is prolonging the life of my vehicles, but I won't switch now. My luck has been too good. I did not try the 25K oil change schedule. I stayed with the manufacturers recommendation, just used the Amsoil. It is more expensive, but less so than having an engine replaced.

Let's go Mountaineers,

Aaron
