Much has been written about this - use the search function and/or visit BobIsTheOilGuy.com.

"Regular" as in non-synthetic dino oil. Its not required to use synthetic, but it is recommended.

Yep, true. But the dealer is wrong about only using Nissan's ester oil.

Yeah, I just meant that it is recommended to use synthetic for which there is a significant gain over non-synthetic. I just didn't realize the Nissan Ester synthetic was a group 3. The dealer wasn't technically "wrong", but maybe we're just arguing semantics here. You "should only" vs. you "must only". I think most of us, including myself have a tendency to dismiss the service rep's advice anyways. From a Nissan dealer's point of view, there is no other brands but the stuff they sell. I mean no disrespect, just looking for some knowledge.
