Engine Oil Analysis @14000mi - Nissan Ester Oil, OEM Filter
Update: 3/4/2010
I waited 2666 miles and changed oil with Nissan Ester Oil and sent out a sample to the labs (report attached). The report came back good! I don't know, I'm just as confused as you.
I'm going to keep sticking with the Nissan oil for the time being. After wear levels settle for a few changes with the Nissan Oil, I'll switch to synthetic (Amsoil 0w-30) and post another update to see if there are any improvements going synthetic.
Stay tuned!
===============================================
Analysis is showing a whole lot of wear or maybe its taking long to break in. I'm glad I got baseline measurements from when I first purchased the car.
After the 2500mi flush they're recommending, I'll stick with the Nissan Ester Oil one more time to see if it shows improvement.
For comparison purposes, I'll probably switch to a different oil (Mobil 1 EP or Amsoil) after that.
