Not a bad run at all. A bit of a waste to drain so soon - would have gone 10k miles, easily. Nice improvement in metals now that you are out of break-in....

Run the oil longer, you are draining out oil with lots of life left in it. The advantage of syn oil is the ability to do longer oil change intervals you are not getting any real advantage for the extra money spent on the R.P.

Nice report; getting the iron under control. Agree with the above posts, you can go much farther on this oil.

The car just came off warranty so I intend to stretch OCI now. I got a pretty good deal on the RP then they quit carrying it.
I've noticed that at about 5000 miles the engine seems to get a little more noisy so that was one reason for changing sooner.
I am trying PP 5W30 this round and if it maintains quiet I will stick with it.

60K Powertrain Warranty on all Nissan's unless something recently changed.

4631 for calcium in the Mobil 1?

Nice report for sure. Puts the RP haters to shame

 

[Dominik]

The Calcium in Mobil 1 seems a bit higher than what we're used to see was it EP?

Both oils look fine but, considering the wear values, I see no advantage to RP if the cost is higher.
