Pennzoil Ultra 5w30 7000 miles 2005 Nissan Titan

[coachditka]

50/50 city highway. Truck is a work truck and gets a good workout around Houston.

I have no idea about the silicon, but we had a really dusty Spring and I have a CAI. Lead is not high, so I'm not worried at all.

I used a Mobil 1 filter. Refilled with the same oil. Truck runs like a top, never had to add any make up oil.

Prior runs were Mobil 1 5w30 EP and TSUV.

Do you have K&N air filter ?

Looks alright!

Looks excellent and good on you for doing your Titan a favor.

Once upon a time I was in your shoes using M1 5W-30 EP and M1 5W-30 and switched over to Pennzoil Ultra and I'm never looking back.

This looks to be a very good UOA. Some more trained eyes should come along soon and comment.

Iron down to 6 from 19(mobil 1). AMAZING!

PP ultra is a great oiL!

SOPUS is making better oils than XOM. Looks pretty obvious to me.

Based on your data, I would stay with Ultra, no question!

Yes, and I love it! The truck has some minor performance mods...

K&N cold air intake, magnaflow, and 2 degree timing advance.

The more I think about it, the more I am glad I made the switch. Nothing against my old M1, but I am now changing teams! I know that some Nissan engines can be hard on the oil, but I am plugging this for all my Titan friends.

Get rid of the stone catcher it's clearly not working for you then go 10,000.

Looks good...

Nice results for 7k miles.

agreed. looks like a good oil and the nissan engines are tough on oil.

that being said, a difference of ~6ppm on iron is not enough (for me) to anoint a new champion. the Pb was nice too.

Never! I might switch to an AFE dry filter, but I love the extra power. Plus it goes nice with the Magnaflow!

this is one of those situations i just don't understand. a premium oil being used with a K&N. you would be just as well off with castrol GTX if you are going to keep the K&N. air intake filtration is at least as important as good oil (i would say more). if you want more power, go with a lighter oil as a 0w20 would give you more power without so badly compromising the engine.

So add additional engine wear for maybe a 1% power increase??
