replaced tranny fluid with rp not too long ago...i wouldn't use it again. but since its in, not going to change it ..

reason: before car warms up, its very rough changing gears. especially worse going into 2nd gear. its fine after the cars warmed up but i can't warm up my car 100% of the time before driving

gonna try Redline next tranny fluid change

Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Formula seems to be the current favorite around. I've been using it for my past 2 oil changes and have no complaints about it so far.

Its an as$ oil. Reason it makes power supposedly is because it has no protection. Go with the castrol syntec 0w-30 european as ryanm8 suggested.

This is what I run, I got 5 quarts at 3.99 a quart from the Advance Auto parts Deal.

This oil is very good in the VQ, shows great wear results in UOA's

STOP DRIVING YOUR CAR!!! The reason you're having problems shifting is because these cars can ONLY USE OEM TRANNY FLUID. It's specifically formulated,by Nissan,for the car. Open the hood and look at the WARNING! sticker on the front of the fibreglass shroud.

5w30 isn't the european formula. The 0w30 euro formula is the only one that's a true synthetic

yea Castrol Syntec in USA is a Group III Oil, synthetics are Group IV

But Castrol Syntec is great for the VQ

Ok so 0w30 euro formula is the best for VQ engines?
