I went to Nissan dealership because I had a 19.99 coupon for oil change vs Infiniti coupon for 49.99 oil change. I called NISSAN asked them what oil they use with this coupon they said Valvoline 5w30 same as Infiniti (valvoline 5-30)

-I went into the Nissan dealership and asked them again what oil they use and he said MOBIL I was like WTH, yall just told me something else over the phone. He said whoever told you was wrong.
-I asked the tech who was doing the oil change what oil he said he didnt know
- I asked another service rep and he said they use Castrol WTFFF again...
- Then I went to the front desk to the parts department, he then asked his service manager and he said they used CHEVRON OIL...

The initial guy told me that they dont use 5w-30 anymore because it gets too hot in Texas so they switched to 10w30. IS this correct or should I have stuck with the 5w30?

Is Chevron Motor Oil 10W30 any good? I usually go to infiniti and they use Mobile. Next time I am going to bring my own oil...

 

Should be fine. You can put 10w-30 year-round in Texas in without any problems. 5w-30 is more of a necessity in the colder climate areas.

 

Chevron although not the greatest is probably more than adequate for your mildly modded na. I'd be curious to know which filter they used for a $20 oil change but then again, even the cheapest Fram is "okay" as long as you keep you oil change interval to 4k or less.

 

One of them might not be false. Surprised the tech didn't know.

DIY FTW.

 

They used the OEM Nissan Filter. Car did feel slugishh NOOOOOooooooooooooooo. I guess ill wait it our for 3 months because I usually hit the 3 months before I hit the milage....

I shall go Synthetic, I only have 15k miles right now....I will go back to Mobil 1 Syn 5w30

 

Ah why would it feel sluggish? Especially when warmed up? 10w30 is going to flow like a 5w30 when warm. I mean slight viscosity ratings aside for each company's 30 weight.

 

Previous oil seemed to rev up faster, maybe its just me.... I dont know I will drive it more aggressive tom...I have doubts about this oil, should of just went to Infiniti...
