which pennzoil synthetic for infiniti 3.7 vq engine????

[whitearrow]

morning gents. i just picked up a 2015 infiniti q50 with the 3.7 vq engine. i've read that this engine is pretty hard on oil so i'm looking for which pennzoil syn is the thickest 30 weight? the euro L 5w-30 looks good but since its a diesel spec oil would it be ok to use in my gas burner?
regards,
Big Ed

If you're worried that an engine is "hard" on oil then one with a robust European approval is appropriate. Anything with Porsche A40 or similar.

I have a 2015 Q40 withe the same engine. I put in Delo 10w30 I got on clearance at AutoZone for 3 dollars a gallon with hpl engine cleaner and the VQ runs better on the higher viscosity. I'm probably going to stay to a ck4/sn oil from now on

I'd go with this if you are adamant about using Pennzoil.

Surprised that is API SP rated. Might be on my radar for the future.

Pennzoil euro l 5w30 is spec'd for gas and diesel on the label. Good oil that did not run low on my kids Volvo C30 which usually is .5-1qt low by 6k mile oil changes, right on full. Very thick 5w30, run it w confidence. Or 0w40 PP which is just thicker

M1 5w30 EP HM or M1 0w40 FS (provided it does not burn a lot of oil).
Don't use Pennzoil

What will happen with Pennzoil? I can’t wait to hear.

You will be splitting hairs trying to determine which 30 grade oil is “thicker”. Just run Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 with no worries.

You seem to be new to VQ engines. Hint: Long timing chains. And notoriously failing guides. Especially sub 2016 models.

Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40.

Sounds like a design defect or materials issue. How is the failure exacerbated by a specific brand of oil?

 

[whitearrow]

Ok fellas. Pennzoil Platinum euro 0w-40 vs rotella t6 5w-30 multi Vehicle for my vq37?

 

[Koainn]

Get the low saps oil since our cats like disintegrating

There is nothing wrong with Euro L 5w30 in your car

Shell's Rotella T6 oils are popular with the Nissan community. Available in both 5w30 and 5w40

Can’t find a T6 5w-40 that’s gas/sn or above rated....

Correct. BMW Longlife-04 approval, ACEA C3 and dexos2 license which is demonstrated performance. But I'm beginning to wonder if the OP had his mind made up already.

The 5w30 is SN

 

[kschachn]

The 5w30 is SN

And both have the same HT/HS requirement.
