Depends..... Pennzoil Platnium 10W-30 is ok or Mobile1 0W-40. Change around 3-4K and you should be ok.

The only scientific way is to measure bearing and ring clearances and hot idle oil pressure vs brand new and in 30k increments.

Generally Nissan don't fully wear until 150k+ and by 300k time to swap engines.
