Recommended Motor Oil

I would be scared using 5w40 or 5w50 for the car. The viscosity while hot is too much. The rule is simple go lower than recommended never higher. Recommended by

Recommended by Nissan: 5w30 You can use synthetic: -5w30 -5w20 -5w10 -0w30 -0w20 -0w10 I would recommend 5w20 though. It's always better to go a tad lower. __________________ Red 2010 370Z Roadster: Stillen G3, Stillen Exhaust, Up-Rev Tune (312 RWHP), Eibach Pro Springs, 20mm spacers front and back, Rear Camber Kit, Tinted Windows, GT-R Start Button, Interior Mods
