Message	Nissan specified 10W30 at the time, based on the lubrication technology at the time. That has changed a lot in the last 27+ years. I would likely venture to say that a group IV synthetic of 0W30, 0W40, 0W50 would be far better than 10W30. Lower wear on start up, and the viscosity to temperature curve will be far better as you reach operating temperature and beyond.
