I’m running Rotella T6 in my V8 2005 Q45. It has the VK45DE engine putting out 340hp. This is a high winding V8 since my redline is 6600. I’m known to visit that end of the tach probably once a day or so... I have 119,000 miles now with original everything except plugs, and filters and...

First of all I'm not sure I should be trying to clean the motor. It is a 2005 4.5 litre Nissan V-8.im 95% sure its always been kept proper as far as oil intervals are concerned. I want to know what oil has the most add pack for cleaning? Any Ingredients a no no?

Thanks for the welcome! I appreciate all the recommendations. I forgot to mention, I have ordered Pennsoil Platinum Euro in the 5w30. I think the Ferrari recommendation sold me?? Not sure if I will keep it or send it back. Anyone here have anything to add or share on the Pennsoil Platinum Euro?

Hey guys and gals- New to BITOG.. so cool to find people who geek on this stuff and to know I'm not alone! So, after reading pages and pages of info on here I've done my best to research what I could tell would be best for my Q45 and it's 340hp V-8. I was running Royal Purples High Performance...
