For AT and NISMO models:
. API GL-5 synthetic gear oil, Viscosity SAE 75W-90
Except for AT and NISMO models:
. Genuine NISSAN Differential Oil Hypoid Super GL-5 80W-90 or equivalent
conventional (non-synthetic) oil

Just curious....this is from the owners manual. I notice a lot of you are putting synthetic diff oil in. Why would nissan recommend this and why are most all of you ignoring it....just asking because i want to do the right thing for my vehicle. What would it hurt to put a synthetic oil ( im asking because this is what i have available in my garage) instead of convention in my Z sport?

Thanks in advance!
