96 maxima with the 3.0 L V6 110,000 miles leaks a little oil but on good shape. Did oil change on it today used 5W30 Quakerstate Defy and a purolator classic filter. A family member just bought this car don't want to spend alot on oil changes or full syn.

Is this a good combo for this engine? Are the maximas /durable?
 
M1 0w40 if you want to overkill a bit.

Otherwise any name brand 5w30 will work excellent.

VWB runs really nice and quiet in VQs in my experience.
 
Since the engine is DOHC, it might not benefit from QS Defy when compared to competitors that meet API SM or SN.

When I see Havoline HM at Wal-Mart for $15 for 5 quarts, I think it would be the best oil.
