I knew that Nissan Ester Oil lubrication capacity would have dampened the torque somewhat but I am surprised that the dampering was substatial enough to actually notice the difference when I switched to full synth.

Switching to full synth must have given me back at least 5 to 7 ft-lbs of low-end TQ to be able to notice it that much and chirp to 2nd!.


How many miles do you have on your car when you changed your oil.
I have 1900 miles on my car and changed my oil at 1600miles.

Just noticed that the car seems drive stronger, but of course that could also mean Im not holding back now that I got my 1st oil change out of the way and Im driving the car like it was meant to be....
