Im getting an 07, becuase it will becoming out in the fall/winter after i change the oil at 300 and 1200 miles for break-in period, i was wonder what is the best oil to put in for winter's next 3-5 k miles, also any suggestions on oil filter, or just stick with oem, im willing to spend a little cash, thanks.


side note i did a search, i just need help pleaseee

 

I would just go with a good synthetic... I think they have better viscosity stability over a wider range of temperatures. Will you be parking outside?

As for the filter, I would stick with OEM. I'm not sure if they'll be using the same filter on the '07 but the 03-06 models have tiny filters, and there's an alternate OEM filter that is slightly larger that I use.

i knew this thread would get bumped to the back quickly, thanks for the input, i was looking for numers on the oil though

 

All Nissans and Infinitis that I've had in the last few years have been 5W30. I'd stick with that (year round).
You might want to wait until the second o/change to switch to synthetic to give the engine a chance to break in properly, but many don't bother.

Agreed. Mobil 1 always works well for me, now on my second VQ3.5. Even seems to help w/ the gas milage.
