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.

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?

Yeah, where are you getting this info? Group V ARE synthetics.
