You may have seen some posts online as to how bad the 2017+ VQ35DD engine is in terms of sludge build-up. Lots of pics online of people who have claimed to have done synthetic 0w20 oil changes every 5-7K miles on them, only to have the engine fail as early as 40K miles, choked with sludge. I owned one from 24K to 103K when the timing chains began their death throws and got out of it while the vehicle still had some value. I did my OCIs every 3000-3500 without fail.
Here's a video on a ruined VK56VD. I'd love to know how many oil changes this rig saw in 60K miles.
IMO, You can thank GDI for these nissan engine woes.
Interesting that these engines are basically not rebuildable due to cost. I know new VQ35DD's are around $13K.
