So, I went to get an oil change at the dealership where I bought my 370Z. I asked the service advisor about using full synthetic oil instead of the regular oil they use. He informed me that the 370z cannot use full synthetic oil. I asked why. He then said that Nissan engineered that engine that way. Anybody else know about this? It doesn't make sense to me. I've used full synthetic oil in all my cars and motorcycle.

Many members have switched to full synthetics such as Redline, Royal Purple, or Mobil 1 at the 3k, 5k, and 10k marks, none of those with any issues. |

I hit "submit" a little too soon. So anyway, engine parts are still engine parts, it produces the same heat, so if it's all the same, I don't see how this statement holds water.

Don't try to find logic in stealerships' requirements, dude. Their only "logic" is $$$---as much as they can get from you! Synth' oil is THE best choice for any engine (see previous post for the exception). Period. Some cars even leave the assembly line with it (i.e. by the manufacturer). So, ignore that nitwit's comment and go synthetic!

I'm not planning on going back to that dealership. I found the DIY oil change sticky and it doesn't look that bad. I'm going to see if I can get my money back for that stupid Maintenance Plus that I bought.
