Nissan Titan Forum - View Single Post - What brand of Motor Oil is everyone using

Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 Extended Performance are PAO based. Ironically, the M1 EP does not meet SM/GF-4 specs, due to too many additives, not unlike Amsoil!

Mobil Clean 7500 is advertised as a dino. According to ExxonMobil employees, it is a Group III/PAO mix. If that is true, it's likely just as good as Castrol Syntec at half the price. I have seen it for 2.19 a quart. I'd like to try this oil in my Titan, but I have a HUGE stash of oil already (around 75 quarts). The oil geekdom never stops!

Amsoil XL7500 is also a Group III oil. I'd use it if it were priced between dino and full PAO synthetics.
