Question about oil

Sonic 370,
Most of the feedback on the engine oil threads appear to favor synthetic. The brand is personal preference, although it appears that most are favoring Redline or Royal Purple. The Redline has been purported to keep the engine oil temps lower (which as you will note has a very lengthy thread). IMO, the first oil change should be the Nissan oil (same type that went into the car from the factory). The second oil change would be the Redline 5W-30. Personally, I will go with Redline synthetic, but not until I hit 3K miles. My first oil change will be at 1K...my second will be Redline at 3K. Then, I will change oil every 3K. Everyone's opinion will differ.
