EA15K13 Is what Amsoil has listed; and it's sure a small filter.

Just picked up a 2012 Nissan NV 2500 van for the business, and i would like to find an oil filter larger than what is spec'd. I know there's a reference sheet on here somewhere, but i can't seem to find it. This uses the same oil and air filter as the Titan.

Question #1--From what my mechanic has told me; this would mean it's a shared differential, sharing the fluid with the trans. I have not attempted this procedure YET. My bro has a 2010 2.5L camry SE, and it's coming time to do a change. Please let me know what you find out. I assume the fill...

I've never seen a VOA on HDD. Anyone know where to find one? The jump in aluminum has got me a little concerned; even though it's only 8 ppm. I asked for a TAN sample, but they wanted an extra $15 to do it so i said no thanks.

The SSO did seem to hold the TBN better, which is surprising to me vs. HDD.

Thanks Pablo for your response. For the record: TBN on the last run was 4.96 with the SSO. I removed it for some reason when i posted. More comments anyone? Do i need to worry about this truck running HDD for a whole year?

Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you. Going to dinner now, and i'll be back in a couple hours.

Any body know what is native in HDD for SI? 8 PPM aluminum?????? Is there any need to be concerned, and will the heavier weight oil cause a problem? Toyota specs this motor for a 20w. What does Zinc do? Is it good?

95% of the miles are towing my 8000lb 5th wheel, and/or our 4-horse trailer. I only put 6400k miles on the oil in 13 months, and i left the TRD oil filter in during the entire OCI. OAI in SLC, Utah did the report. Data indicates no immediate need for maintenance action. Continue to observe...

I don't know what test they used for the TBN. Whatever OAI uses i would assume. City driving short hops without full warm up, is the way the wife drives it. The TRD filter is a K&N type filter, but has proven to do just fine in my Tundra with SI levels in the low teens. I'll have a better idea...

Would going with like a 0w30 next change clean it out some?

Do i need to do something about the varnish inside the oil fill neck?

recomended by some on this site

No. 80/20 city/hiway

That's what i'm leaning towards. I appreciate your input. Thanks
