Hey Whats up everybody nice to meet you all im new to the nissan game. i just bought an 08 maxima 3.5 se, and i was hearing that this car burns motor oil like no tommorrow. Im researching on what brand of oil is recommended for my car, i want the finest quality. But whatevr i choose to get will be the one ill use from then on so it has to be a prime recommendation for my maxima. Does it have to be a nissan branded product?
Or can it be anything else?
And how many quarts would i need specifically for my car?
Oh also how many miles until i would need another oil change?

 

PM talkinghorse here on the org.
He's an Amsoil dealer with an unbeatable product, price, and customer service.
Amsoil is really good stuff.

 

The best oil is subjective. Search, read, and decide for yourself. Stick to the recommended weight/viscosity.

As for your other questions, please read your owner's manual. It's spelled out clear as day.

 

CAD TO USD kills the deals

 

So it's cheaper for you to buy Amsoil locally in Canadia?

 

to hard, spoon feed me

 

I remember seeing a thread somewhere in these forums where the OP did a bunch of tests and took recommendations from all over the forums and consolidated it to come up with a list of good and bad oils for the VQ35. Personally I use castrol gtx high mileage and have since I got it. The lifters were pretty loud and sometimes I got a rough feeling from the engine when I first got the car. I started using that after my first oil change and it immediately fixed both problems. I also use a bottle of Lucas upper cylinder lubricant when I fill up after I do an oil change. Cars sounds and runs like new with 150xxx
