No you want 5W30.

are u sure, the guy at kragen told me 5W20
hmmmmmmmmm

 

Check your owners manual. I don't care what some guy at a parts store told you. I would trust Nissan over anyone else.

You can use 5W20 but it's not what they say to use.

 

Definitely go for what Nissan recommends over what a parts store person recommends.

 

that person is a FU***** IDIOT

 

Maybe he just had a hang over.

 

RUS let me ask you this. If you ever had a warranty claim and it was oil related, which would honor your warranty?

Infiniti using the Manual's recommendations? Or some pimple-nosed high school drop out from kragen?

I'll let you make your final choice.

 

I didnt read the ****ig manual as in when I asked. But i maked sure its 5W30.
My other problem now is that i didnt rotate my fckign tires casue i thought they were good and now they are too bold, so their is no reaosn to rorate them. ****KKKKKK iam pisseed

 

That sucks. My GF had the same problem, she didn't rotate the tires on her Mazda3 for 35k and her tires are shot.

Time to move up to some better ones anyway!

 

5w30........

 

Probably wouldn't matter for winter driving up north, but summer driving or southern driving, you want the slightly thicker oil.

 

Do you guys use dino oil or synthetic?
I think the manual suggests dino.
Regardless,I had them put in Mobil 1 synthetic last change.
Can't say I've noticed any difference except peace of mind.I just think these engines should have synthetic.

 

I use mobil 1 synthetic every 3k.
