    If you look in your owners manual, it should tell you what Nissan recommend, with regard to what range viscosity oil to run in what temperature climates, to suit your individual engine.

    For short trips I wouldn't bother. Thousands of vehicles go to the snow every year without concern.

    owners manual suggests 20w-50, which is what I use is good for temps above -10c. below that they suggest 15w or 10w. I think I am safe just to keep what I have in there for a week in the high country.
