I forgot to mention to blackstone I was low on oil. We will see on the next sample if aluminum is still high

According to Nissan the best choice is to run a ester enriched motor oil like Motul or Redline etc. with a quality oil filter preferably with synthetic media. It also matters what fuel you are using? Using only a top tier gasoline is highly recommended by Nissan. When I found this out I started using top tier Chevron and Texaco as soon as possible. It seems you will find a lot of the gasoline companies have mixed a percent of ethanol in their gasoline’s.

I've had great results using Castrol Edge Titanium 5w30. I bought the car with 60,000 miles and have been using that since. I did switch to Mobil1 0w40 on this current interval. I'll see how the two compare when I get this oil change sample report. Latez |

Your oil sample report looks pretty good. I would stick with 5W30 though. Even though you could pull it off with Mobil 1 or Castrol synthetic motor oil I would never recommend going 8500 miles between oil changes. I would change my motor oil more frequently like every 4000-5000 miles if it were my VQ.

This last sample was Mobile 1 0w40 compared to my first Castrol Edge 5w30. At the moment, I am running Castrol Edge 0w40 European formula. Latez Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
