wow, Brunei. Very cool. Just use any synthetic that's available to you. YOu'll be fine. Nissan USA only RECOMMENDS the ester oil, it's NOT required.

Just curious, is it true that in your country public transportation and health care are TOTALLY FREE?

no, and no. bus rides are very cheap. and health care at a govt hospital is only cheap if ur a citizen of brunei.

so ur recommending synthetic or fully synthetic AK? i guess ''always go for the best'' for oil..

I asked my first question today and I searched a little longer to find the answer by you on this post. Thank you. I did notice just from a short 20 mile drive with the Mobil 1 ester base oil that the engine was quieter. I leaned on it too to verify the engine was a little quieter. I know this isn't a Versa or a Roque so I don't mind paying a premium for the oil. The engine can't be cheap to replace if stuff happens. Thanks!!
