Oil is going to be for a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder with the 3.5 v6 has 130000 miles. Most of its life Pennzoil conventional fram tough guard. For about the last 30000 had Castrol GTX high mileage 5-30. Last oil change had a jug of edge black bottle 5-30. This forum for High Mileage like Valvoline MaxLife. I want to move to a full syntheatic. What full synthetic High Mileage oil should I run?

well, for me the Mobil is the prettiest HM bottle, and it has that rebate right now
Mobil 1 was always my favorite high mileage synthetic although I did use Valvoline Maxlife synthetic before they switched the name thing.
At the time I was using both of those there wasn't any Pennzoil high mileage synthetic.
I currently have Mobil 1 high mileage 5w30 in my very high mileage Nissan Altima, but I'll probably go to regular Maxlife after this.

I've had good results with Maxlife and put it in many vehicles. That being said, what's your rate of consumption/leakage that warrants High Mileage oil?
That isn't much. Unless it's external leakage, High Mileage oil may or may not help. Per my preference, I'd probably run a few changes of Maxlife Full Synthetic and see how it affected consumption then possibly switch to Synpower and see what that did.
