This is my first post here. Now I have changed my own cars oil for over 13 years. I have run "full" synthetic oil in my cars almost that entire time. In my experience Castrol in the gold bottle performed extremely well over the first 4k miles. As did Pennzoil Ultra too. I change my oil every 4k to 5k mile . I know that is way early in many people's eyes. Which I understand. But I just wanted to do it that way to ensure the very best performance for my car. Now I have decided to run Havoline 5w-30 conventional in my Altima 3.5 VQ. I know it has a very good TBN over 8.5 to 8.9. Which is really strong for a Dino oil. I also know it has a weakness in the NOACK test because its volatility was 15.1 to 15.5. I also feel like the wear protection is very strong given what I have read about it has well. I road tested my car on a stretch of straight and I mean straight has an arrow road for (2.8 miles) going 64 mph. My car said I was getting 29.1 to 29.6 mpg. Well that is the exact same gas mileage I was getting out of the Castrol in the gold bottle just put in after an oil change too. Which is somewhat impressive to me. Now finally for my question. What are the odds this Havoline will hold up the gas mileage has well has the Castrol? Because with the Castrol my car did not start losing gas mileage until I was closing in on 4k miles into a OCI.. Very strong performance over the long run. So, what are the chances the Havoline will perform the same? Or will it be at least close to that? Thank you for thoughts in advance.
