Type of oil & weight !!!

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

5w30.

i'd recommend swapping to full synthetic Mobil 1 or Royal purple after 3500 miles,

if you live in a hot or warm climate area even 10w30 will be okay

partial synthetic is not full synthetic and has some additives but will not give the performance or protection that full synthetic gives

think of watered down liquor. as partial synthetic.

my dealersihp uses Mobil 1 straight off the bat, @ 3500 miles i'll be doing Royal purple
