If you think you can get better results with a different oil, then switch to different oil. Repeat steps above until satisfied with the results (i.e., no valve ticking and good UOA numbers).

Edited w/o Semtex auth. This is the best reply on this issue since my reply

Thank you semtex. Mod: Please lock.

This thread should have been locked after this post

My favorite two posts in this thread

I just now got my oil changed with Pennzoil 5W30 (10,750 mile maintenance).
Afterwords on the ride back I couldn't tell that my oil had been changed at all
(car drove just as if I didn't get an oil change).

With my 7,500 mile maintenance I did get Nissan Ester Engine Oil with my oil
change (as with my 3750 mile maintenance). I *was* surprised that I could
tell the difference after the oil change. The felt renewed and ran much more
silky smooth when accelerating and shifting.

Based on this, I'll probably spring for the extra $60 to get the Nissan Ester
Engine Oil.

Going from the stock break in oil to Ester you will always feel a difference, then going from Ester to another Synthetic, you don't.

But the stock break-in oil is Ester Oil, unless you can provide documentation to the contrary

But the stock break-in oil is clarified butter unless you can provide documentation to the contrary.

Point is, don't declare something is something unless you have proof FIRST, not second.

I already had Nissan Ester Oil in the car from the 3750 oil change.

My main point is that I'm not feeling that silky renewal feeling a had with a fresh
change including the Ester Oil. In other words, I couldn't even tell I changed my
oil with the Pennzoil 5W30

???? You can feel the difference after an oil change? You might want to invest in a new filter or perhaps change your oil more frequently if you can feel the difference.... if the oil is the same weight and both are synthetic its hard to imagine feeling a difference.....

Pennzoil = black pudding in your engine.

That was exactly my point.
