Oil Nerds Info

OK, I listened to you. And you happen to be wrong. There is "something" required - namely, using an API-certified oil is "required" if you want your warranty to remain in force.

Now perhaps you will be so kind as to listen to this: What a number of us are saying is that the Nissan Ester Oil with it's nanoparticles is not a magic elixir. Using it will not make your engine last 500,000 miles. If Nissan had compelling objective evidence that their oil really does have a significant advantage over other API-certified oils, then they would say so and publish the evidence - but they haven't (and I bet they never will).

My guess is that Nissan "recommends" their Ester oil because Nissan makes money when you buy it, not because your engine will last longer if you use it. It's called marketing.

Feel free to use whatever oil you want - it's your car and your money. Peace.
