0/30 for nissan rogue

[kenpoed]

Manny specs call for 5w30 in my 08 Nissan rogue. It runs much rougher the first 10 minutes when the oil is not warm. Does anyone think it would be harmful/helpful to try ow/30?

Thats because its running open loop. nothing to do with the oil.

0w30 maybe too thin for the rogue. I'm hearing nissans 2.5L burns crazy amounts of oil

How can a 30 weight oil be too thin for a car that specs 30 weight oil.

Some 2.5 QR25DE do burn oil and others(mine included) do not!

Actually, many 0W30(which are synthetic) run a bit heavier and closer to 11.0 cST or higher than many 5W30 oils which are closer to 10.0 cST. Meaningless maybe!
