Hey all, after some helpful comments I have decided to go for a 5W40 for my VQ35DE Nissan to be adequate for winter cold starts in Detroit Michigan but protect a little more at the high temperatures and offer more shear stability than my current 5W30 Mobil1, especially when I drive the car harder in good weather.
I see Rotella T6 5W40 and Castrol EDGE 5W40 as the two most common synthetics for this weight. I was wondering what would have the better base oil, and which one would have the better additives? I'm a bit hesitant about using HDEO for a naturally aspriated V6 but nobody has said it would cause any issues.
Any other recommendations under $30/5 quarts would be equally considered.
My OCI is every 3,000 miles with new WIX XP filters.
