I've used full synthetic oil in all my cars and motorcycle.

It's recommended, at the very least, to use Nissan's Ester Oil for the first oil change, especially if you're doing it during the break-in period for the car. Nissan Ester Oil is recommended, but not necessary.

Many members have switched to full synthetics such as Redline, Royal Purple, or Mobil 1 at the 3k, 5k, and 10k marks, none of those with any issues.

I thought Mobil 1 isn't a full synthetic.
