Engine oil

I've just changed the oil and filter in my recently purchased '97 Maxima, and I used 5W-30W Mobil 1 full sythetic. Is this oil a good choice for this car? Any opinions would be cool, John H.

That's what I use.

I like it fine. Doing a compression test this weekend after driving on the Mobil 1 for 2 years - I'll let you know how it goes.
