Depending on the weather condtions where you live will determine the type of oil you should use. If you are in cold weather most manufactures for newer cars 2003 and up recommend 5-30 weight detergent oil. if it is hot you may want to go to 10-40 detergent. If you have the engine broken in say 30,000 miles I recommend my customers use 5-30 synthetic oil, it has better lubricating and heat removal qualities that regular motor oils don't have. also oil filters are important too. Iprefer fram oil filters, the heavy guard filters. they are more expensive but filter much finer particles. and last longer. So the better the oil and the better the filter the longer your engine will last. Don't use parfin based oil as it will damage your engine.
The best oil to use is what the manufacturer recommends which is mineral based SAE 5W30. You can vary that slightly based on your driving habits, temperature, and elevation. . Brand depends on your preferance so long as it meets the API grade SL energy conserving rating that Nissan reommends.
Any reputable oil companies oil grade 15w _40 .multi grade .

0w is the thinnest and 30hd is the thickest. you car calls for 5-30. 5-30 synthetic is the best and oil change will be due every 7,500 miles.
