Your crack(head) oil expert said there is no difference between a synthetic oil and a dino oil?
From all of my research, it's yet to be proven that Nissan's retail-packaged Ester oil is not a synthetic oil. The filed patents all say that the additive package is designed for either synthetic or conventional. People are going off a few statements that only hint at the Nissan oil not being synthetic-based.

Until somebody actually analyzes a bottle of the stuff, it's all assumptions.

Mobil analyzed Nissan Ester Oil. Mobil 1 is part or full synthetic.

It says that their "analysis" (AKA document research, phone calls) indicates that it is full or partial synthetic. While this is probably true, the statement from Mobil 1 is too wishy-washy to mean anything.
