Engine oil viscosity and capacity: We checked owner's manuals for the US 2013 - 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, which you can access here.
Other possible causes for Code P0016 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0016-obd-ii-trouble-code-camshaft-position-a-camshaft-position-correlation-bank-1-by-jay-safford) to set include: the camshaft timing is wrong because the timing chain jumped teeth; the camshaft phaser is out of position due to problems with phaser; the oil has flow to the phaser is impeded due to incorrect
engine oil viscosity or partly clogged passages; and the oil control valve (OCV) has a restriction in the OCV filter.

If you use a good brand synthetic
oil with a
viscosity according to your
engine's specs, and change it within the interval specified by the
oil maker, you don't have to worry about
oil properties beyond that.
Even though your oils complete the
viscosity criteria, i don't advise pouring in diesel
engine oil in a petrol
engine.
A3 / B3 Stable, stay - in - grade
oil intended for use in high performance gasoline
engines and car & light van diesel
engines and / or for extended drain intervals where specified by the
engine manufacturer, and / or for year - round use of low
viscosity oils, and / or for severe operating conditions as defined by the
engine manufacturer.
Oils meeting API SH requirements have been tested according to the American Chemistry Council (ACC) Product Approval Code of Practice and may utilize the API Base
Oil Interchange and
Viscosity Grade
Engine Testing Guidelines.
It does however get a GT3 - inspired radiator for improved cooling, and an ultra-low
viscosity 0W - 40 Mobil 1
engine oil.
Breaking down the 0W - 20 code, «0» is the
oil's
viscosity at startup when the
engine is cold, «W» stands for its winter certification, and «20» is the
viscosity at higher temperatures.
Gear
oil viscosity numbers are similar to aviation
oil numbers, which are generally 2x the normal
engine oil ratings.
Can i use
engine oil 10w30 as transmission
oil in my automatic scooter.I know the
viscosity of both oils are different but the mechanics here are doing so.
We replace the
engine oil because the
Viscosity Index Improvers have degraded and the
oil no longer has the appropriate lubricating properties.
If an
engine is filled with an
oil which has lower
viscosity at low temperatures, for example 0w40 compared to 20w40, does the
engine require less warming up before it can be driven «properly»?
It has high detergency, good
viscosity range, and also serves as a great «break - in»
oil for new chrome rings installed on an older
engine.
For maximum
engine performance, follow the recommended motor
oil viscosity and maintenance schedule provided in your vehicle's owner's manual.
The main reason for these new low
viscosity oils is fuel efficiency, the side effect is engineers have changed the
oiling systems on new cars in various ways that do not tolerate high
viscosity oils, but could assume you are correct about reducing warm up time before
oil flows to all internal parts in the
engine.
My guess is the switch to higher
viscosity is not providing better protection but reduces the amount of
oil lost in the combustion process.Because it is thicker less of it blows by into the exhaust.This indirectly lessens the time the
engine is running with less than optimal
oil volume.The potential down side is at lower ambient temps.the
oil will take longer to circulate through the motor on a cold start.Also a slight decrease in mpg as stated as the
engine works harder to move the thicker
oil.Mixing
viscosity won't cause any harm.My theory has always been that 5w30 with 1000 miles on it is no thicker than 5w20 with 0miles on it.
Check with an Audi service advisor to learn which
engine oil brands and
viscosities are approved for use in your vehicle at your next
oil change.
By choosing to equip your Toyota with our low -
viscosity 0W - 20
oil, you can expect better
engine performance, improved fuel economy and reduced
engine deposits from your Toyota.
You can not use 5W - 20
oil in ANY operating conditions in this vehicle as the
viscosity will be too low once the
engine is warmed up.
Maintenance: Nissan recommends changing your
engine oil and filter every 3,750 miles or 3 months; 5W - 30 is the recommended
viscosity.
Non genuine
engine oil and
oil filters can cause damage to the
engine due to incorrect
viscosity and less effective filtration.
In addition, friction reduction measures include an improved valve roller rocker arm design with a new camshaft profile, small, lightweight pistons with a low friction coating, enhanced
engine block rigidity and bore circularity, and low
viscosity oil.
Extensive friction reduction measures include enhanced
engine block rigidity and bore circularity, an improved valve roller rocker arm design with a new camshaft profile, small, lightweight pistons with a low friction coating, low

Thicker oils with a higher

engine work harder to pump the
oil through the
engine.
