Only 3,750? I'd use the cheapest oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. No reason to buy an expensive oil if you're changing it that often.
i was just going to go the min for a oil change, we take it on trips and not our daily driver....i have a 08 impala that the wife drives all the time and it gets marathon 5w30 with no problem
Cheapest name brand 5w30 syn i could find. I would try Quaker State Ultimate Durability or Pennzoil Platinum. Supertech syn 5w30 would also be a wise choice.
You don't "need" a syn, but the synthetic 5w30 properties are desirable in the winter IMO.
If you desire a less expensive conventional price, i would use Pennzoil Yellow Bottle 5w30, no contest in my mind.

3750 is severe service, you should be able to go 7500 if its standard service. Nissan always words it that way.
The normal service for Nissan is hard to meet. I have pyb 5w30 in my Nissan right now. usually gets pp. Thought I would try some yellow bottle since I got it for 2.50 a quart.
thanks for the in put , now considering penz yellow bottle too...ha ha now the wheels in my head are turning..

I ran PYB 5w-30 in my G37 for the longest time, until I found a stash of Delvac 1 in my shed. I, too, was stuck on the 3750 mile OCI while under warranty.

Valvoline synpower 5w30 will do you fine
3750 with a synthetic? Nonsense. Unless if your drag racing or towing a semi, that's a waste.
If I am not mistaken Nissan dropped the 3750/7500 OCI for the pathfinder in 2014. It should be a straight 5000 OCI.
After I did the first couple free oil changes with valvoline syn blend (dealer) I went to M1 7500 OCI. I do mixed driving, no towing. I have not done a analysis and probably will not. You can get some great deals with PP along with discount on gas from shell. My last 5qt jug cost me $12, hard not to go with PP. Also pennzoil had a deal where you can register for their warranty and you practically get a 5qt jug of PP for free.

I'm on the bandwagon with the yellow bottle Pennzoil ... I've seen a few UOA's for it on here that beats some synthetics on some engines
