Kindly advise if it is wise and good to a car engine if I change engine oil to 5w30 engine oil from the current Total quartz 9000 5w40 which I have been using to service my Nissan Primera for the past 13 months when it came as a tokunboh? Although, the car manual says 5w30 for ambient temperatures or 10w40, 20w50 suitable for hot climate. I was advised to settle for 5w40 then, since it is equally suitable, especially for hot climates. The car has been performing smoothly, but now, I think I should change servicing oil to 5w30 from the 5w40 for better or enhanced performance . Or what do you think?

What brand of 5w30 are you looking to use? It is essential you use a great brand since your mileage is a bit high.

I think you meant the brand...how about Mobil-1 5w30 Advanced Synthetic? Your engine would love you for that

Sorry, I meant to say the brand not mileage. Thanks bros but is it wise to change to 5w30, after using 5w40 for over a year now?

Just use the recommended grade. It is fine. The engine would easily adapt from 5w40 to 5w30
