With a new car why would you risk any type not specified in the manual?

Castrol Edge, Titanium FST, 5W-30LL, Advanced Full Synthetic.
No dpf problems, stop/start works well, great fuel economy and low use. Top up 100ml every 1000 to 1500 miles.

Nissan want you to pay more for oil made by someone else but with their name on it. It doesn’t matter at all who makes the oil as long as it complies with the specifications recommended in your drivers handbook.

Previous QQ, 1.5dci, the main dealer at the service used 5W40 when it said 5W30 in the manual, when I questioned why they weren't using what was specified they said 30 or 40 doesn't really matter with the UK climate.

Whether that's true or not I don't know.
