Reply to "Nissan doesnt reccomend Synthetic motor oil?"

dynamojoeMember

I have an 88 grand am. The original owner made document using a semisynth oil sold by Husky or Esso up to when I bought the car at 189 000 kms. Since I purchased the car i've used semisynth or full syn. With semi at 5000+km interval [approx] I toss the filter and top up oil for one change then second change replace whole oil w/new.
When full syn goes on sale, i'll buy a enough for a few changes and repeat the semisyn change procedure.
At 350,000kms I replace head gasket and engine internals looked mint.
At 460,000kms I replace timing chain guides [UHMW]

I have 556,000 kms [345000 mi] and am finally retiring car only because of chassis rust underneath the car.
Other than that, the engine puffs a bit of blue when changing gears [excessive rpms] runs great still.
I attribute this to the oil and regular changes.
