I am trying to find this out so i can stick with it until its time to switch to synthetic. I search a lot on this site with no luck. mainly what brand. One tech said Valvoline but would like to get the forums input

Thanks guys.

 

Every dealer uses different oil.I like for a regular dino oil Rotella T.The lab results on it are pretty good.

 

our local nissan dealer uses regular Castrol GTX.

 

penzoil..or..shell from my experince

 

Dealers use what ever brand of oil they prefer. All should be 5w30 and synthetic is not recommended until after your 2nd oil change per the manufacturer.

 

Dublin Nissan 76 oil.

 

put do dealers put the initial oil into the engine? I thought the factory did. I am trying to find out what comes from the Factory. Cause that is what will be in it if the oil has never been changed.

maybe this is top secret info. so hard to find out.

 

I think it's Castrol GTX from the assy line.

 

Elf Moto (a European brand owned by Total) worked with Nissan/Renault on engine oil in the past few years, according to their web site. Safe to assume that's what comes from the factory. As for your local dealer, like someone else, that would depend on whomever they sign the contract with.

 

Trust me ---Any good standard oil is perfect until you do the syn-oil fill. There are no measuring devices in the Universe that would show ill effects
