What Oil and Viscosity do you use?

[fxlr8]

Going to be doing my first oil change on my M45 and was thinking of using 10w-30, possibly 10w-40. Which oil do you use? M35, M45, M37, M56?

 

[Mongolian]

5w30 just like my FX and my G37

 

[Ilya]

AMSOIL XL Synthetic 5w-30. Also pour an ounce or two of Seafoam into the engine with the oil to keep everything even cleaner down there.

Just updating what I use:

Rotella T6 5w-40
K&N HP-1010 Oil Filter

 

[Sideways the Seven]

Pennzoil Platinum 0W30. Did great in Altima SE-R (VQ35DE) and I expect the same from the VK45 in the M. The V36 (VQ35HR) will be making the switch ASAP.

 

[Ilya]

I've since switched to Mobil 1 cause my place usually has that in stock more often than AMSOIL.

Has anybody had an analysis done?

 

[fxlr8]

I have the analysis kit at home, but have never used it.

Just purchased 6 quarts of Amsoil Synthetic 5w30 (ASLQT-EA) and an Amsoil Oil Filter (EA15K12-EA). Cant wait to for it to arrive so I can do my first change.
