Guys, I just got a 2.0T Nissan Altima and have only driven 700KM. Today is Sunday, and I was bored, so I opened the hood and checked the dipstick. The new oil has a strong gasoline smell, indicating fuel dilution. Has anyone else experienced this? No wonder the maintenance requires an oil change every 5000KM, even with fully synthetic oil, it can't last until 10000KM. Fuel dilution can seriously affect the oil's lubrication and other functions. It's never wrong to change it early. Also, I wiped the new dipstick with a tissue and found the end to be very black. Not sure what's going on.

Is it necessary to change the transmission oil at 100,000 kilometers? I'm worried that the new oil might not be as good as the original old oil inside.

Do I need to remove the oil pan to change the oil?

Hey fellow car enthusiasts, my car seems to be burning oil. After about 7000 km on full synthetic oil, the dipstick shows it's almost at the minimum level 😭. This has happened in the last two maintenance sessions. It's a 2017 Jeep Compass with 120,000 km over 6 years. Has anyone else experienced engine oil burning, and how did you resolve or repair it?

Second maintenance hasn't reached 5000 km yet. Should I use the complimentary oil or switch to synthetic, guys?

I changed the engine oil from 5w30 to 5w40, and the fuel consumption increased by nearly a liter. I'm so regretful!

Do you use fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oil for your 10,000 km oil change?

Has anyone purchased the extended warranty package from the manufacturer? It costs 2200 and includes 2 synthetic oil changes and air filter replacements, with a 5-year extended warranty for the whole vehicle. Is it worth it?

Changan CS35 Plus, 2023 model, uses CTS-03.08.06. 0W-20 Changan-specific full synthetic oil. How many kilometers should it be driven before an oil change during maintenance?

How long should I wait for the next maintenance after adding semi-synthetic oil?

For the 2023 Changan CS35 Plus, when using the CTS-03.08.06.0W-20 Changan-specific full synthetic oil, how many kilometers should the oil be changed during maintenance?
