Whether the higher viscosity in cold is helpful is a bigger questions, but most UOAs seem to indicate the VQs wear less with a 0W oil in them.

If I still had mine and was planning to keep it, I would have no qualms running GC or the M1 oil. I would not go back to a 5W oil though.


You just love to throw up all these facts huh? There is no reason to run that type of oil. Does he think Nissan the creators of the car do not know what they are doing.

They absolutely know what they are doing--giving directions to the lowest common denominator to minimize their risk. 5W-30 is common and safe...but there are several other oils you might want to use for specific use cases.

Nissan recommended ester oil anyways...do you use that?
