I use 5/30 synthetic year round in my Titan, we get a temperature range here from -40C to +40C. A Nissan engine that is treated respectfully will last damned near forever. I was at my dealership last week getting a leaky tire fixed and saw an old Frontier in the shop for some maintenance that had over 800,000 km on it, and was still going strong. JD Power doesn't tell you about this sort of thing. <snicker> William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
