The answer about going to 15-50 is not a simple one however, there are times when a thicker oil may not be the best as a thinner oil may get into places that a thicker oil may not. If the oil does not lubricate then wear occurs fast. Not sure about the Nissan engine and its needs. A thinner oil may shear easier but that is not always the case across various manufacturers. I will leave this to those who know the internal components of the engine better then I. However, as I said, this is not a simple answer and will require extensive knowledge of the needs of this specific engine.
