Just traded for an 08 Nissan Titan SE crew cab last week. I had an 06 Titan and used Pennz Platinum and Valvo SynPower (both in 5w-30) without any consumption at slightly less than 5k OCI's. I switched to syn at roughly 1500 miles in that truck.
Now my question is thus: Should I stick with the two synthetics I have used before, or maybe switch to M1 T&SUV, or even maybe Maxlife (reg variety) in 5w-30? This engine has shown that it can chew on an oil if oci's are too long so the drain interval may be the limitation along with the short commutes (5 miles to work each way). I was thinking the old tried and true 3k on regular oils or no more than 5k on syn (since they can be had BOGO regularly).
Any thoughts?
