Actually, if you’re going to store an engine, proper way to store it is to change oil, refill and not start it. As soon as you start the engine, the oil is contaminated.When it sits nothing happens.

I recall Nissan always being 3750, even up to 2006 I can’t recall nissan ever using 7500. It was 3 months or 3750 back in that time.For the nissans of that age if I recall correctly, Nissan actually specd 3750 miles, 6 months for extreme service, or 7500miles, 12 months.
Why?DO NOT keep that oil in that long. 6 months change it out.
the 02 Frontier's FSM MA page has 3750m/6mths as schedule 1 (Extreme Duty)I recall Nissan always being 3750, even up to 2006 I can’t recall nissan ever using 7500. It was 3 months or 3750 back in that time.
Go read the actual thread from beginning.Why?
So not one consumer falls under normal service. Every consumer falls under severe. Those services have been updated for todays operating conditions.the 02 Frontier's FSM MA page has 3750m/6mths as schedule 1 (Extreme Duty)
75000m/1yr as Schedule 2 (normal duty)
They guidance suggests:
Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently
includes one or more of the following driving conditions:
Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
Repeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside temperatures
remaining below freezing.
Operating in hot weather in stop-and-go “rush hour” traffic.
Extensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
Driving in dusty conditions.
Driving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
Towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier.
Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 2 if none of the driving conditions
shown in Schedule 1 apply to the driving habits
Objectively cant say. since I dont know every consumer. Subjectively yes, but convincing owners that want to argue semantics of whether their grocery trips are nullified after taking one 10 minute highway jaunt every month allows them to be in schedule 2 idkSo not one consumer falls under normal service.

As a 20 plus year tech for a whole lot of manufacturers, I can tell you EVERY consumer falls under severe service. You can talk to any tech and they will say same exact thing.Objectively cant say. since I dont know every consumer.

4 cylinder KA motor and no noticeable oil usage or burning.Ka24de or vg30de?
Yes because of the products of combustion. But oil has buffers to counteract that.Actually, if you’re going to store an engine, proper way to store it is to change oil, refill and not start it. As soon as you start the engine, the oil is contaminated.
But not because of this.I tell you what. People like this just keeps putting money in my pocket. Y’all keep doing those extended drains and the keeping oil in for 2 years. We technicians just keep replacing engines.
Just the seals will get messed up in his case. But guess what, not my car, not my money. I’ll use the ole technician saying. I didn’t build it, I didn’t buy it and I didn’t break it.But not because of this.
I’ll say this. I have a 2019 F-350 SRW that I use to pull my camper. I don’t even put 3,000 miles a year on it. It sits for weeks at a time where I’ll just take it to Home Depot or somewhere to run diesel through it. It Holds 13 quarts of oil. I replace oil every 6 months with Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 at 30.00 dollars a gallon. I also change fuel filters once a year period.But not because of this.
Does used engine oil in the crank not naturally break down or degrade with acids, moisture from condensation, and leak out from leaks - generally speaking?When it sits nothing happens.
No they don’t, no you don’tI tell you what. People like this just keeps putting money in my pocket. Y’all keep doing those extended drains and the keeping oil in for 2 years. We technicians just keep replacing engines.
