Hey everyone trying to help my father out with his OCI's.
1. Vehicle: 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V6
2. Manual calls for: 5.5 quarts of 5w30
3. Location: South Jersey (Atlantic City area)
4. Driving style: Light acceleration, driving for MPG. 90% highway miles (50+ mph) no towing.
5. Driving Route: 120 miles a day, 4-5 days a week, 60 miles to work, 8 hours of work, 60 miles home.
6. No known problems
Preferences:
Longer OCI's - he's changing every 3500-4500 miles and using dino juice and unknown filter.
He's having a local shop (not a quick change place) change the oil every 5-6 weeks and it's annoying and costly.
128k miles on the truck.
What do you guys recommend? Should he just use a high mileage full synthetic 5w30? I'd like something he can use year round through the NJ winters.
