- I apologize in advance for not answering your question, rather asking
- a question. I have a maxima with 100K miles on it, should I go for
- Slick 50? What are cos and pros for slick 50?

- As far as oil filters are concern, I always use nissan filters,
- and feel more comfortable, that I am treating my car according
- to manufacturer's specifications.
-
- Any more ideas.
