Is Nissan Ester oil made from VHVI?

felix0121 · 05-22-2015, 07:57 PM

* I'm not asking what oil to use, but asking from what the NEO made. Hope this thread is acceptable in this forum.

Is the Nissan Ester motor (engine) oil made from VHVI (Very High Viscosity Index) that it is in API Group III ? Or anyone knows exact number of its viscosity index ?

I know that the NEO is a dino (at least called in that way here), just wonder in what API group it is seperated.

Thanks.

IIRC, it's Group V (more-or-less Other/Miscellaneous/Mixed category). But my memory ain't what it used to be. Google "Nissan Ester Oil API Group" or similar.

No. Nissan Ester is Ester-added, not the Ester-based. Only the latter are in group V (like Redline).

Actually I already googled, but failed to find the answer.

I had sent an email to Nissan USA, but they didn't answer it.

This oil is nothing special,just a "Overpriced" factory OEM oil,Mobil 1 or Redline is anytime cheaper & better.

Well.. thanks for your answer, but I don't want any unnecessary argument here.

I agree to you that Redline & Mobil1 are all good stuffs.

I just want to know from what the Nissan Ester oil was made. I did my best to find out the answer, but failed.
