M1 0w20 is all that Nissan needs in it’s life
Whoever wrote that owner's manual is delusional, no VQ is making it to 10,000 without burning oilI applaud you on the 5k over the recommended 10k change interval. Use pretty much whatever brand name, but the 5k is the key to long engine life.
It is not cold enough to need a change seasonal change in viscosity with todays recommended oils. any 0w or 5W oil gives good cold starting performance below -30*f.Philly is a temperate climate. Cold Winters, followed by hot, humid Summers. I would use 0W-20 in the Winter. And 0W-30, or 5W-30 in the Summer. No more than 5,000 OCI with a new filter every time.
If Nissan would just add a small port injector in addition to the DI all would be good.Generally true but some programs allow multiple injections per cycle even if the valve is open. I don’t know all the engineering science but over the years they have improved on the issue.

Agree. Even VW removed the dual injection in their Euro cars in the EA888. DI does have efficiency and performance benefits at least.That could be said about any GDI engine manufacturer that does not use dual injection. The issue is the cost associated with adding the complexity of dual injection. I feel like many, if not most, manufacturers are basing their decision to adopt GDI first and foremost as a means to better go about complying with environmentalist regulations. Aside from that the engines generally offer better performance with the main drawback being long term maintenance concerns. I'm sure the corporate bean counters weigh projections about the cost of dual injection versus potential warranty claim payouts for not using dual injection.
