For reference,

The Nissan Synthetic Ester Oil that came in the car with less than 3K miles with actually 11 months in the pan was already out of spec for viscosity. I would like to see an oil analysis of a 10k mile oil. And if I wanted to really not fork over money to the oil fat cats I would not have gotten a car that runs on PREMIUM GAS.

Based on the results of your first oil anaysis it is no wonder that Nissan recommends changing the Nissan ester oil frequently. What engine oil did you use after that first oil analysis?

I have been using Redline 5W-30 since I bought the car. Oh and as the miles have been racking up less and less makeup oil is needed.
