What's the consensus on oil?

I would imagine that when the vehicle is manufactured and they start the engine for the first time at/near the factory that they have used Nissan Ester. Well, I hope so anyway.

I'm not 100% sure but I assume they would start the engine for the first time at the factory. I am guessing that they are driven onto the truck/whatever when they start their journey to the Dealers.

If thats the case why would you not use a fully synthetic at your first change?
Maybe the factory uses a cheaper substitue to save costs? Would that be the reason the dealers dont use Nissan Ester, depending on what deal they have done for a bulk supply from a local supplier?

I've done a change at 2000, 5000, and now got 7500 up. I may do another change now and then one at 10000 and then every 5000 from then on. I just think its a good idea to do a few during the run in period up to 10000. Maybe I am just wasting $ ??
