Mobil 1, 6k intervals, quick yes or no

Although synthetic oil has slightly better shear stability than current Group II base stock oils, it doesn't have any better detergent capability. There's nothing wrong with running synthetic in your car, but going beyond Nissan's drain intervals is unwise.

This isn't meant to be an oil thread, just a quick hitter with a few posts over a few hours then he can shut it down no worries. This was a little more specific topic though so it should get handled pretty quick with limited discussion.
