We would recommend Mobil 1 5W-30 or Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 for these applications.

So Mobil 1 recommends using Mobil 1 oil... interesting.
By saying it's "part or full synthetic", I think that they are trying to suggest that Nissan's oil might not be full synthetic, even if they know it really is. "full synthetic" falls into the category of "part
OR full synthetic." I have no idea whether or not Nissan's oil is full synthetic. I don't understand how a company like Mobil 1 can't determine that. Their "analysis" smells like BS to me.
