He informed me that the 370z cannot use full synthetic oil. I asked why. He then said that Nissan engineered that engine that way. Anybody else know about this? It doesn't make sense to me. I've used full synthetic oil in all my cars and motorcycle.
I have a '99 Mercedes-Benz...MB advised me not to use synthetic oil until at least 5000 miles on the odo. I have no idea why. But I followed the rec and now have 138000 trouble-free miles on that engine. I have only used Mobil 1 for the life of this vehicle.
