5w30 or 10w30 fully synth

 

Although there are as many opinions as there are grades.

 

As for brand. everyone has their favs.

 

I use Fuchs or Royal Purple.

    Semi or fully synthetic.

     

    Pick a brand.

     

     

    *10w40 is fine all year round, but the 5w40 can help on those really cold winter days

    What they said..... A "30" grade oil is too thin for a 300zx; even an n/a, what with it being an older car! Don't go lower than the "40" recommended by Nissan, I say.

    I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:
