Thanks for posting this, I tried posting the image and couldn't get it to work. Funny, many VQ owners don't believe it when I tell them. If Infiniti explicitly makes a note of it in the owners manual, it must be for a reason yet people with these old motors keep insisting on synthetics. Possibly...

A few days late to reply but I don't get it, why do people insist on using synthetic and using viscosities that aren't recommended with these motors? I have an 03 G35 Coupe and have been using dealer bulk conventional 5w-30 (Castrol GTX) since day 1 and my VQ does not burn any meaningful oil...

Originally Posted By: Garak Well, now I'll have to ask, and see if I get a funny look, or if they have it. In any case, the 4.73 L or 5 L SOPUS jugs work great in the G37, but Imperial Oil loves 4.4 L and 4 L as you note, and Wakefield does weird things, too. Yeah the SOPUS jugs work great...

Originally Posted By: Garak I haven't come across one, but in any case, it couldn't hurt to ask the company for some particulars. They may be forthcoming, they may not be. As for base stock, unless they advertise or tell us or someone runs a very expensive test, we won't really know. If it's a...

Originally Posted By: Garak Originally Posted By: GSCJR Yup, I get my Eni from PartSource I haven't been there for a while; I wonder if the local ones here carry it. One started to carry Liqui Moly oil, or is it Lubro Moly when it's sold here - well, whatever it is. Has anyone done a VOA on...

Originally Posted By: MolaKule Quote: I also found a link to the MSDS, maybe there is enough viscosity information for MolaKule to enter it on his manual gear oil list. It would have steered me towards this oil no question. Would be good for those -25c mornings we get up here routinely in the...

Interesting, at the dealer for an oil change and I ask him what he has of all stock of MTF's in GL-4. He pulls out a grey 1l bottle of OEM Nissan 75w-80 GL-4. The dealer I bought my HQ 85 weight did not have this. Quick Google search shows this is probably what they use in cold Russia and Nordic...

^^ Exactly. It would not only negate any savings, it would actually be crazy expensive if you factor in duty, Quebec taxes, shipping and exchange rate. Just easier to get some shipped to me wherever I stay in the US on my next trip and just bring it back duty free, something like a Ravenol or...

Originally Posted By: MolaKule Quote: ...maybe even a 75W-80 would be even better but not sure for sheering with long term use in hot weather. Something like Redline or Amsoil 75W80 should work well in the cold winter. As I stated before, with the mix of modern base oils, shear resistant...

Originally Posted By: CBR.worm As an aside, I buy my MTF at the dealer. One time they gave me Nissan GL5 differential oil. I told them that was the wrong stuff. They said that was what they put in all the MT's. I gave him the part number I was looking for, then he went in the back and found the...

Originally Posted By: MolaKule Ok, so what is the majority fluid and brand that is in there now? Since the fluid was not analyzed, how do we know it was a 75W90? It could have oxidized to the point that it thickened. It is the 3 quarts OEM Nissan HQ 75w-85 fluid and a bit less than 1/2 quart...

Just to update you guys and this thread as too many threads here end up with no update or conclusion, I finally had the fluid swapped on Friday. We took a small sample of the old fluid and compared it to the OEM Nissan HQ fluid and there was no doubt what was in there was visibly thicker than...

Originally Posted By: badtlc It would be nice to know the viscosity of the OEM nissan. Just because they spec 75W-90 doesn't mean that is what is used. VW specs the same 75W-90 GL4 but then go and use fluid that is synchromesh levels thin. They don't spec 75W-90, they spec 75W-85 which is the...

Originally Posted By: GiveMeAVowel Is Castrol SynTRANS 75w, 75w-80, or 75w-85 available in Canada? There are nothing but glowing reviews of this product in all those weights but it is nearly impossible to find in the USA. I must have called over 20 parts stores this week, nobody stocks...

Wow, that is a great list. Extra thanks to MolaKule for compiling it. Basically, Redline is the only thing on that list that's available here, except of course the dealer spec lubes. Between Redline MTL 75W80 - 10.x cSt, Redline MT-85 - 12.0 cSt, what would be the performance difference, both...

Originally Posted By: badtlc Where are you reading negative Red Line reviews? Which fluid did they choose? What climate were they in? Red Line is about as good as it gets in the MTL world unless you are somewhere very very cold. Don't have all that detailed information but here are a few...
