OFFICIAL OIL THREAD (Trying to clean up all these useless oil threads)

Pennzoil Platinum is a good oil. That should be just fine, as would most full synthetics from reputable companies. Nissan recommends an oil with an ester additive to minimize noise with vvel. This is where the Nissan ester oil comes from. From what I remember, the Nissan oil is really just conventional and not all that good. And it's needlessly expensive.

I don't change my oil just so I can have zero constructive input to oil threads. I run the engine with original oil for 20K miles and then trade it in.
