If you can use Redline 5w30, go right ahead. You will not have an issue. I call Redline the guarantee oil. I can pretty much guarantee that you will never have the dreaded lifter tick. It has been known to quieten a ticking engine too.
It's recommended by Nissan to use ester based oil. I use redline 5w-30. Pricey but I feel the difference and motor runs flawless imo
I've been using AMSoil 5W30 in my WRX since it was new (2003). Turbo is still good, and head gaskets lasted 17 years. I think it's worth the price.
I use Amsoil 0W20 but I’m a dealer. I have access to the test they run comparing it to Mobil and AC Delco stuff. The Amsoil is supposed to be better longer, but to me that comes down to your filter more than your oil.
Using Redline 5w-50 on my E90 M3. it's supposed to have a similar viscosity at high temps as most 60wt oils. Comes up to operating temp faster and doesn't overheat.
Amsoil allegedly is the best. I use it in everything and no issues so far.
Amsoil is top tier oil and you can't go wrong with it.
I’m using Amsoil 0w-30 and am very pleased with it. Getting about 1 mpg better gas mileage and had the Amsoil lab analyzed after 3500 miles and numbers are better than what the factory oil showed. All added up, the Amsoil was better at protecting the engine.
I also switched to a 50 weight, Redline.
I was seeing moderate oil consumption and the heavier viscosity seems to have fixed that issue
Dominator is a excellent oil
