Nissan recommend a 10W-30 oil for UK and that will cover the temperatures here. Theoretically, a 20W-50 oil will reduce engine power albeit providing unneeded protection.

If you can afford it, however, a modern 'synthetic' oil, in comparison with a conventional multigrade, provides all the protection your engine needs, without having any contaminants which produce sludging and pre-ignition in cylinders. Most oil manufacturers now have a synthetic oil in their range, and if I was buying a new car, I'd use a synthetic oil from the start. With an old 1994 car, however, I doubt if it would be worthwhile.

10w40 is the oil u need, its up to you which make/brand you use ,castrol, texaco, halfords, comma. as long as its 10w40.

btw 10w40 is used mostly in multivalved fuel injected engines!!!

It's never too late to start using good quality oil.

i use 0-w40 Fully synthetic Mobil 1.. as a recomendation by the mazda and nissan main dealership..

the single best advance in engine oil technology in history....

quietens the engine down....allows it to rev quicker (slightly)
the inside of the rocker cover is a very shiney GOLD colour even after 2000miles of hard driving...

low viscosity at startup to allow the oil to reach every part of the engine quickly.

doesnt burn off in the exhaust so you wont get any smoking...

last slightly longer too

downside..

its £35 a bottle for 4.5 litres....
