For a TL-S, an oil change with filter change requires 4.6 quarts of oil.

BTW, I've used Pennzoil for the past 15 years in all my vehicles and I've never once had an oil-related failure. My '97 Nissan Maxima SE, with 136,000 miles, still runs like it was when it was new, doesn't burn a drop of oil, and the oil still looks decent after 4,000 miles (my change interval). My TL-S is the same. Pennzoil is perfectly fine oil.

now you got me thinking...
I am using PenzOil from 1rst day and I do oil changes every 3K and I can tell you that the oil after 3K stil looks bright not burned
I have now 25K
Should I switch to another brand and if yes - to which one?
Can someone who is running PezOil tell me his opinion.
Thanks.

See my post above. I use Pennzoil exclusively on all my vehicles and have never had a problem.
