Help me choose the better oil

The 2.5, especially before 19 were easy on oil. @ almost 110k I’ll stretch HPS out to 6-7k from late spring through fall and it won’t use a drop. Even the 19-25 version of the 2.5 don’t seem to be hard on oil. I’ve got a tank of ethanol free 90 I’m working through now and she’s purring like a kitten with 4500 on the current oil change.
That's great to hear. Knowing it's GDI, I kind of expected the worst. However 70k in, and it doesn't burn a drop over at least 4500 miles.
 
The 2nd gen rogue (15-20) is multi port and not GDI. There was an analysis on a Nissan forum rogue, who ran amsoil SS a full 25k and everything looked outstanding, next to no fuel dilution. The 3rd gen rogue which used a 2.5 in 21 and then moved to the rattle box 1.5 turbo is DI. My 21 and 24, while I don’t know all the specifics, uses both DI and port injection. There’s a member here with a 19 Altima (DI and port) who posted a UOA and it looked like a port injection for the most part. I suppose with UOA, you and I could run extended intervals but, I choose to stay around the manufacturers recommendation. Doing a spill and fill every 20k on the cvt is more of a necessity imo. My cvt operates like new and drains spotless everytime. If Nissan had half a brain they’d change the recommendation of trans service and not destroyed their reputation because of it.
