First Oil Change: Mobile 1 or Castrol Syntec?

Interesting. Nissan: "We recommend using synthetic oil in this car". Then they ship it out with regular oil. A case of: Do as I say, not as I do.

i went through all that with the financing guy at the dealership. "would you like to buy our service plan?" i ask what it consists of.. "oil changes, tire rotations, etc." i ask if it covers synthetic oil or ester oil. "nope." then i ask if they'll unmount the tires to switch them side to side (didn't know the tires had an outside and inside at the time.) "nope."

kinda funny. they should put a disclaimer on the Z stating not to offer that service.
