Your dealership says that now. Wait until you break parts due to your nitrous. I bet you'll find your dealership doesn't cover s***. The owner's manual specifies an API rated oil, they don't put that in there just because.

Requires or recommends?

I'm not talking about the Ester stuff. I believe it says (as best as I can remember) that the Ester is recommended, but if not any API certified 5W-30 should be used. Obviously that's not verbatim, but I'm 99.9% sure that's what is is saying.

That being the case, how would I comapre say, Redline (non-API cert'd) to say RP (API cert'd)?

API seems like a good baseline, so if these other oils are as fantastic as they claim, then why not get the cert?

I know if my nitrous causes issues the warrenty will be voided, thats not what my point was. I've had 2 issues with my 370z that i had to get checked out, nitrous was installed but dealership didnt care cuz it didnt cause the problem. Obviously if i go in there with a piston through the head then yea, they will care about it.

But something as stupid as oil type they wont do ****.
