You can get just about any question answered on this group. About a month ago I bought a Nissan Xterra, just before we started getting snow storms about every 36 hours. My timing has rarely been so good.
I am surprised to see that Nissan uses and recommends 5W-30 oil. The only time I used this was my first winter in the Chicago area, many years ago. The vehicle I owned then began to use it, so I've never used it since. I usually put in something heavier, 10W-40, 15W-50, or 20W-50 (in summer). And for several years I have been using synthetic oil, which flows so smoothly that I don't see the need for lightweight oil even in very cold weather. I'm wondering if anyone knows why a major manufacturer would switch to lighter-weight oil.
