Reply to "Nissan doesnt reccomend Synthetic motor oil?"

Using the correct PAO basestocks in the correct applications isn't a bad thing. Certainly, I cannot think of a PAO based oil that isn't superior to the Group III fake syn oils!

You do have a point about the dealer possibly fearing long drain intervals...I think everyone that has an interest in oil knows of at least one engine destroyed by improperly extended drains.


Locally to me, Ford dealers do use pretty decent lubricants and filters with the Conocco/Motorcraft 5W20 and the excellent Motorcraft oil filters. The GM dealerships have acceptable oil (Mobil DriveClean) and nice filters. Mopar dealers tend to have crappy rebadged FRAM filters. In general, all of the dealers are a bettter bet than the @#$@% quick-lube places, where you are certain to get a crappy filter, and likely to have little problems like stripped drain plugs, etc.
