What is the best available 0w-20 oil by it's chemical and physical properties for a Nissan Titan XD 5.6L V8 Direct Injected engine with OEM 5k OCI's?, priced up to $60 for a 5 quart jug.
I am on a Titan XD forum and this question gets asked.
I have been using ZEPRO Eco Medalist Advanced Moly 0W-20SN Engine Oil - that I discussed in another thread - this oil has a good amount of moly which may help this engine because of the gears and it's camshafts are driven by two chains, one for each head plus the timing chain that transmits the rotational movement from crankshaft to the both intake and exhaust camshafts - (so in theory this engine maybe be tough on oil). This oil also has a 215 VI so it's pretty light but it has a high Noack Volatility of 14% - not great for DI's.
So all in for a Dual OHV Direct Injected (carbon deposits on the values?) V8 truck engine that is fairly tough oil what the best oil by spec's to use in the 0w-20 viscosity range? and why? is it a low Noack number, low Calcium number, low Ash number, best additive package to reduce wear...……...
I was also wondering how Amsoil SSO 0w-20 and 5w-20 would stack-up in your recommendations.
