The manufacturer recommended oil is the Nissan Ester Oil 5W30. It's now up to you to use that or go with an aftermarket oil. If you do go aftermarket, try to stick to ester-based synthetic oils. There is a reason for this and it has to do with our engine's unique VVEL system. It keeps everything quiet on startup and idle.

Technically, you are allowed to use any 5W30 synthetic oil you want. Just giving you Nissan's recommendation and explanation.
