Not for the manual, "in" the manual...owner's manual.

And I was pointing out what the manual says, because the usual follow-up question is "will I void my warranty if I use xxx brand of oil and the manual says to use Nissan Ester Oil?"

@ 370zSteve: I've not seen 230 yet, and that's driving hard and fast in 106+ temps here in GA. Hell, even on the dyno day sitting in 90's and then doing 5 pulls on the dyno it didn't get up that high.

Since both of my feet are still firmly planted on the ground, I wouldn't know. Go back and read the original post - you can read it more than one way (that's why people need to be precise in what they write in posts on the Internet, like in this case stating "Owner's Manual" would have removed all ambiguity). On this topic, there've been some, uh, "interesting" posts, wouldn't you say - so it's entirely possible that he meant it the way I read it...

And my other point (Nissan's ester oil isn't synthetic) is also correct...
