I'm running Mobil 10w-30 right now. Would it be okay to use this type of oil on the Spec? I see that Nissan only recommends this oil grade for the GTR, so it got me curious to see what effect it would have on the Spec.

well i dont know for sure, but if i remember right 0w-40 mean the range the oil will go from hot to cold. i wouldn't think it would hurt. but it might be too heavy cold and too thin hot.

Why would you want to do that? That oil is really thin, almost like water. With an engine that is known to burn oil I wouldn't help it by using such a thin oil.

you should learn to read oil.
5w is thin. 40w is thick.

it will be super thin when cold (0w) and super thick when hot (40w)
not recommended unless you live in cold temperatures to help with the start up.
