Careful folks.... this might start another oil war.

btw, Nissan "Ester" oil is a synthetic and it is used right from the factory in our engines

No, it is NOT a synthetic. It is a dino oil with a Group V (ester) additive.

Group IV's and V's are true pure synthetics.

One thing I realized today after the oil change:

The oil temp got up to 110 degree in traffic. Wasn't particularly hot today nor I was driving any faster than normal. Didn't recall the car hit 110 degree before even on a hotter day. But it got down to 100 fairly quickly once the car was moving.

Anyone experience this?

Perfect I've been looking for the facts on this and I've only found happenstance and conjecture. Can you point me to where it states for a fact its dino oil?
