Any 30 weight grade of Mobil1 runs in the thin range of the 30 weight spec.0w-30,5w-30 even 10w-30 MOBIL1.
You didn't specify which brand of syn you used.
Try Mobil1 0w-40 (great winter thru summer oil in a N/A engine, hard to find mostlty at autozone), or Castrol Syntec in 0w-30 ONLY, <must> say made in Germany and <not> say "energy conserving" on back. to be the right syntec 0w-30 (yes there are 2 kinds of very different quality).
The one I am referring to is almost a 40 weight, think of it as a 0w-35 weight oil, and is an import of the famous european castrol SLX.
Both of these oils have performed very well in Nissan/Infiniti engines and/or engines that share design features.
Which is not to say that other good oils dont exist, and many non syns are pretty decent as well.
But the above are my favorites for most Nissan Infiniti applications, when you are willing to spend a bit extra for the syn oil.
Valvoline SynPower 5w-40 is another good choice, especially for higher mile engines, but doesnt match the winter performance of the other 2 mentioned above.
