Castrol Magnatec 5w30 at Walmart for $19.87 per 5 quart jug. Have a great day Ashley.
I don't know which VQ35 motor is in your Maxima. Mine is the VQ35DE in my 2007 Infiniti with 97K miles. I've had the car nine years since new. I have had the most satisfaction using a synthetic blend 5w-30 at 4,500 to 5,000 mile intervals. Mostly I've used Kendall GT-1 and Quaker State. Last 5 oil changes I've used two quarts QS synthetic and 3 quarts QS conventional. The motor seems to like that recipe.
Maxlife synthetic.
Castrol Edge 0w30 is very popular among the Nissan/VQ crowd. Supposedly, they are discontinuing it, though.
AAP/CQ has Castrol Edge 5w30 A3/B4 (gold bottle) and it is on sale for $32.99 5qt and a P1 filter (but you can upgrade to M1 for $4 more). It is also available on Amazon.

Great oil. I prefer full synthetics in everything, but syn blend is better than dino at least.
The 0w20 and 5w20 versions of it are a full synthetic.

Not the same thing.
The one I mentioned is a Euro 5w30, A3/B4, a little thicker, like their 0w30.
But at Walmart, my choice would be the black 0w40 jug

That's good. Is that the Impreza?

I believe I'll go with the Castrol Magnatec 5w30 at Walmart.
Recommendations on a filter (since this is a synthetic blend)??

Fram Tough Guard for $6 which has a 99% efficiency rating. The Fram Ultra for $9 if you leave it in for two intervals.

Walmart doesn't seem to have a way to match the filter to the car. Ugh. How do I find which Fram Tough Guard I need for this 2008 Maxima?

Hi Ashley. This is what we use at my work, hope it helps. Also, you can do a cross reference for the CHAMP LABS filter and it will show you other brands filters for your Maxima.
Hope this helps ashley

I found it (the TG6607) thanks all!
The best filter at Walmart would be the Fram Ultra (part number XG7317), or the new M1 filter, M1-110A (only some Walmarts have them out now, not all of them)
For something less expensive, there's the Super Tech filter (part number ST9688)
