Description

NISMO COMPETITION OIL 2108E 0W-30 is a fully synthetic racing engine oil with a double-ester base, developed by Motul with NISMO, Nissan's motorsport division. It is intended for naturally aspirated 3.5-3.7 litre VQ-series V6 engines.

The low 0W-30 grade gives quick throttle response. No industry classes are stated; the only approval the product page names is NISMO Nissan Motorsport International.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 9.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 176, HTHS 3.2 mPa·s, pour point -36 °C, flash point 226 °C, base number 6.8 mg KOH/g. Available in 1 and 5 litres.

The data sheet specifies a change every 3,000 km and, for racing and tuned cars, advises agreeing its use with the tuner.

Application

Naturally aspirated 3.5-3.7 litre Nissan and Infiniti V6 engines (VQ35DE, VQ35HR, VQ37HR) in the 350Z, Skyline, G35 and similar models, including tuned and drift cars.

Worth knowing

The data sheet’s model list goes beyond sports coupes: beside the 350Z and Skyline V35, V36 it has the Pathfinder, Altima, Maxima, Murano and Quest, and the Infiniti EX35, FX35 and QX4. Conditions for such cars match those for a drift car: a change every 3,000 km, no mixing with other oils, and a warning that the Nissan Motor Company warranty does not cover the product. No industry class is named, so it cannot answer a service-book requirement for API or ILSAC; among Motul 0W-30 oils such codes appear in, for example, 8100 ECO-LITE 0W-30: API SQ RC and ILSAC GF-7A.

NISMO oils are split by engine type. According to the data sheet, VQ engines are designed for a low-viscosity oil and little fuel dilution, while 2212E 15W-50 is aimed at SR and RB turbo engines with moderate to heavy dilution, and its HTHS is 5.3 against 3.2 mPa·s here. The article 5W-50 or 0W-30? describes what happens when viscosity departs from the designer’s intent. Figures also depend on the document revision: 07/18, the source of this page’s figures, gives a pour point of -36 °C, while revision 03/21 gives -48 °C.
