If so good to hear!

I’m not certain if Nissan used ester oil for factory break in! PP was noticeably quieter in the VVEL intake valves. My normal driving oil temps with PP is 220. When driven like a whore, it jumps to 245. It has never reached 260. Maybe living and driving in Connecticut with daytime highest ambient temperatures averaging 85 (July) is the reason. In addition, PP is formulated with Adaptive Molecules, which help resist the breakdown caused by heat, shear and pressure in your engine.
