Looks to be a nice improvement over my last report!

Report looks good. How much top off oil did you have to add if any on this OCI?

Hi JohnnyJohnson,

I added 1 qt over the interval. Not certain if this is normal operation or burn off/blow by, or if a leaky valve cover is to blame (my valve cover gets fairly oily). Maybe a combo.

I have a 1.6 Versa type M/T. Most Nissans don't consume that much oil if you use M1 or Castrol. Good report.

Seems the oil can go longer. Try till 16,000 KMs.

Found out today that Valvoline full synthetic with Maxlife has boron, titanium, and moly. I thought Valvoline was still going with a near exlusively organic FM add pack.

Nice report

Nice but anything less than 8K miles is really underutilizing the lube.
