Long story short. I think the dealer put 0w-16 in my 17 Camry 2.4 in error. Hop in the car at the dealer, fire it up, notice the engine feels more "free" than usual and my screen readout mpg is a little high. Drive it 2,000 miles notice mpg drops slightly and some lifter tick. Extract the oil and Install M1 0w20-AFE. No engine noise and mpg actually increases slightly back to "normal" for the AFE, I run. Your car will be OK on the 20w but if you notice a difference in engine noise you can take it back for a drain and fill or DYI. JMOI recently had the oil changed in my 2021 Nissan NV200 cargo van at a Nissan dealership. The receipt didn't indicate the oil
weight that was put in, so I asked them. First they told me they put in 0W-20 synthetic but my vehicle takes 5W-30 synthetic. So they changed
their story, "Oh we really put in 5W-30 synthetic". When I asked them for documentation showing that they put in 5W-30 synthetic, but they
didn't have any - so they gave me a refund.
The warranty for my vehicle states 5W-30 synthetic only, no alternatives are listed.
I called a few mechanics around town, one said I should change it again for 5W-30 synthetic just to be sure, another said that "everyone is given 0W-20 synthetic and told -whatever-", another told me that the 0W-20 should be ok for the Kentucky winter but maybe next time get the 5W-30.
The receipt (attached) indicates Nissan kit 65F0C, with a 15208-65F0E filter and 3609X oil.
It is the 3609X oil I am wondering about...I searched the web, could not find anything definitive regarding its weight.
I'll be going to another Nissan dealership next week to get a new battery so I will show them the receipt.
But, I was hoping that someone here might be able to help me determine the weight of the 3609X oil.
