10w is a heavier oil. i believe our cars call for 5w30 in the owners manual.

Regardless of what type and brand of oil you'll use, don't use After market Oil filters like FRAM of STP, go straight and use the OEM oil filter by NISSAN, just check www.motorvate.ca and read the comparison between an aftermarket and an OEM oil filter and you'll know what I'm talking about ! Just my .01 cent
