Hi guys,

I know...another oil thread. Hopefully this is just a simple 'that is ok' and doesn't spark the usual responses.

I'm about to hit 1200 miles and would like to do an oil change at that point and then switch to synthetic at around 3,000. I already bought a case of Redline. My question is that for the oil change at 1,200, is just a normal/non-synthetic 5W30 oil fine? I really don't feel like going to the NIssan dealership and buying Ester oil for the price they charge, only to change it out in 1500 miles for Redline.

Second question is about fuel/engine treatments. Do any of you guys use these? Which and how often?

Thanks.
