I think (and hope) that the only answer to this thread will be to search around this forum or just look in your manual or let your dealer put in the oil...

All has been said before....

Dre on this page of the forum you'll find 3 threads already discussing oils... and there are heaps of threads after that... all really long threads as this is one of those topics that start a lot of bickering...

Just have a browse...

I believe Nissan recommends their Ester Oil. Anyways, use your favourite brand of 5W-30.
