Is the 0W-20 Shell Helix Ultra suitable for my 2019 Nissan X-Trail 2.0? It has nearly 90,000 km on it, and I've just changed the three filters, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. Also, my friends say I should replace the timing belt and spark plugs. Is that true? Any brand or model recommendations?

Do I need to change the timing belt at nearly 90,000 kilometers?

When buying a 2008 Yaris, here are some areas you should check: 1. **Exterior and Interior Condition**: Inspect for any signs of rust, dents, or scratches on the exterior. Check the interior for wear and tear, especially the seats, dashboard, and electronics. 2. **Engine and Transmission**: Listen for any unusual noises from the engine and ensure that the transmission shifts smoothly. Look for any leaks or corrosion. 3. **Brakes and Tires**: Check the condition of the brakes and ensure the tires have sufficient tread and are evenly worn. 4. **Suspension and Steering**: Test the suspension and steering for any unusual noises or stiffness. 5. **Electrical Systems**: Make sure all lights, indicators, and other electrical components are functioning properly. 6. **Service History**: Review the vehicle’s service history to ensure it has been well-maintained. After purchasing the car, here are some maintenance tips: 1. **Oil Change**: Start with an oil and oil filter change if it’s not recently done. 2. **Replace Air Filters**: Check and replace both the engine and cabin air filters if necessary. 3. **Check Fluids**: Ensure that all fluids (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, etc.) are topped up and in good condition. 4. **Inspect Belts and Hoses**: Look for any signs of wear and replace if needed. 5. **Battery Check**: Ensure the battery is in good condition and clean the terminals if there is any corrosion. 6. **Spark Plugs**: Consider replacing the spark plugs if they haven’t been changed recently. 7. **Tire Maintenance**: Rotate the tires and check wheel alignment. By taking these steps, you’ll help ensure that your Yaris remains reliable and performs well.

Should I choose the Haval or bite the bullet and go for the Explorer? I'm 40, work in a stable job, don't smoke or drink, and love driving. Whenever I go out with friends, I'm the one driving, and I enjoy it even if it's a five or six-hour drive. I don't feel tired. I usually commute alone, about 20 kilometers round trip. Rationally, I should prioritize family and choose the Haval. It's not much fun to drive, but it's cheaper and comfortable for the family. But there's a little devil on my shoulder saying: Go for the Explorer, there aren't many days left to indulge in what you love. Most of the time, you're driving alone, so why not get something you truly enjoy? You only go on trips a few times a year. Brothers, any advice?
