Hate the tiny oil capacity and filter.
Running 10lb heavier tires. Drive 40 miles to work, 25 of which is 70mph. First 15miles are 55ish.
Engine has 135k on it and is clean as a whistle inside. I would love to hit 5k OCI on conventional. Here's the issue.
PYB 5w30 gets noisy around 2600 miles.
PYB 10w40 gets noisy around 4100 miles.
These motors have a tiny capacity, a tiny filter, and are underpowered pigs toting 4500lb rigs around.
Trying to find a conventional that can make 5k miles QUIETLY. When I say they get noisy... There is a pronounced tick that develops as the oil shears down. If anyone has seen oil analysis on these motors. Mobil1 5w30 at 6k has a tbn of ZERO and a terrible viscosity.
I'm about to try delo 15w40.
Just hoping someone with a Nissan can offer a little insight besides going back to 3k mile OCI, or ignoring the awful tick.
Pulled the valve covers when I purchased it and they are clean enough to eat off of.
