This is my daily driver, but it doesn't go very far each day as you can see from the miles on unit. I purchased new and took delivery on 1/2/2013. First change after factory fill was dealer bulk, which I was told is Kendall semi-synthetic, and used Nissan filter. This report is for the second oil change for the vehicle. Filter used was Nissan brand from dealer. Refilled with same oil and used a Fram Toughguard filter.
Blackstone comments: High copper and silicon are just lingering from wear-in, so they
should improve next time, even with more miles, and the oil is in good shape physically, with a TBN of 3.0.
Averages are based on ~5,700 miles of oil use, so try 6,000 miles on your next run. If it looks good, you
could go even longer after that. Nice report here!
