It is known that commutative power-associative nilalgebras of nilindex 4 are not necessarily nilpotent. This was proved by Suttles' counterexample to a conjecture of Albert. This article is about commutative non-associative algebras of characteristic $\neq 2,3$ which satisfy the identity $x^3 y=0$. These algebras are nilpotent if they are finite dimensional. For dimension 3 or 4 , commutative nilalgebras of index 4 are such algebras. For dimension $\leq 5$, power-associativity implies that they are Jordan algebras. For dimension 6, if they are power-associative but not Jordan algebras, then they are nilpotent of index 5 and solvable of index 3.
