Whilst I don't think 15W40 would do any harm, Nissan actually recommends 5W40 - check out the handbook:

Earlier it gives "Genuine NISSAN engine oil 5W40 ACEA A3/B4"

Any Fully Synthetic oil will do and that meets the oil industry standards. I used the Halfords cheapo on a BMW in the past..no problem where oil change regime kept to. Annual/12k miles for QQ

Hi Dave, you got me worried reading your “New” Oil Spec as we have been using the Nissan Stuff 5W 40 Stuff for years on the Note / Juke and now the QQ. Had to take a look at the service Manual 🤣 - Dave 🥵

Dave, you are bringing back memories talking Oil. I was brought up in the 50’s when young travelling around with my Dad & Uncle who used to ride Speedway for the Swindon Robins and the smell of Castrol R was in all my clothes, almost as good as After Shave - Dave 😋
