I was glad to read on this thread and others (yes, "search" is my friend!) that others like this oil, and have found good data on the product. I am wondering if the previous owner had synthetic in the engine, although I saw no sign of this (such as a sticker in the engine bay). Anyone have any theories about why they did this? I got distracted while paying and forgot to ask.
Nissan service departments are horrible. You cannot trust them with anything so I watch them the whole time they are servicing my car. When I went in for my first oil change I asked the SA for ester oil and he told me that he had never heard of that being used in anything other than the AC unit. It is really embarrassing how little the SA actually know about the vehicles the are servicing.
