^ You guys realize the VQ37VHR requires an ester-based oil, right? I'm not sure if RP and Mobil-1 are ester-based.

I run AmsOil 0w30 signiture series full synthetic in my 350 with an ams oil filter. Works great. Ive also heard great things from royal purple. And yes 0w30 is recommended from ams oil. As well as 5w30. They have an app guide on thier website.

Most Synthetics have Ester in them. Either way I would stay away from RP period.

What don't you like about RP? I've used it in a few vehicles in the past. Is there something I should know?

pdf pg 315 in the owners manual states;

*3: NISSAN recommends Genuine NISSAN Ester Engine Oil, which is available at a NISSAN dealer.
