Sheep_Flavour Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Apologies if this is a stupid question but found this oil on Amazon for a good deal. Is this the oil I need for a 05 Nissan 350z please? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintopete58 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Go for it just done mine but mine only does -1000 miles year. Oil is manufactured by tesco and they put Asda's badge on it HAHAHA. Don't worry any oil is better than no oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't go with this particular 5w30, as the VQ35DE doesn't have extended intervals. I'd opt for a C2/C3 variant instead. A5/B5 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use at extended drain intervals in high performance gasoline engines and car & light van diesel engines designed to be capable of using low friction low viscosity oils with a High temperature / High shear rate (HTHS) viscosity of 2.9 to 3.5 mPa.s. These oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt. The A/B class's A5/B5 oils have lower HTHS viscosities, which means that they provide better fuel economy but they may not provide adequate protection in engines that are not designed for them.

Sheep_Flavour Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks both Davey - oil isn’t my strong point. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Since owning my 350z I've used Fuchs (2 grades), Castrol, Shell, Motul and finally settled on this one maintains good oil pressure, not too high not to low and engine feels nice and lively without consuming too much either.
