Semi synthetic is ok. Full synthetic is the best, especially in turbos which give the oil a hiding. From memory Nissan recommend a 20w50 weight oil from factory which is probably a bit thick by todays's standards, especially in a healthy engine. IMO a 10w40 weight full synthetic is a good all rounder.

I use Penrite HPR15 which is now full synthetic and affordable compared to most synthetic oils.
