suggestions on oil and synthetic, new car. before and after break in
 

he guys, im asking your opinions on what type of oil to go with after the first scheduled oil change, and whether or not to use regular oil, full synthetic, or what. i have no idea what im doing lol.

Pauly hit search and have at it. That is a never ending debate on EVERY auto forum in the world. You will not have enough time to read it all

Best,

Dave:hello:

Full synthetic... Most guys on the forum will tell you to use Redline... Search and you'll get some answers. Unfortunately everyone's opinion is different.

10-4 roger that. problem is i cant search forum with iphone, but thats my inconvenience. ill check it out when i get home. thanks peeps

I went with Red Line all around. The only difference I have noticed is much easier shifting.

Mobil 1 works for me.

So when I went to the stealership that said I HAD to use ester oil. WTF is ester oil? I have always ran redline in my integra and still do and was planning on switching everything on the Z to redline also.

Nissan Ester for 2 oil changes. Now this spring I changed to Mobil 1 5-30. Just go with what works for you and is spec'd per Nissan and you will be fine.

Ester oil is nissan house blend: synthetic oil with ester additives. It's not mandatory, just recommended by nissan....

The realty is though you can use any oil you want as long as it is in spec with what nissan says. Redline works just fine (along with Royal purple, mobile one, and what ever else people will say).

I personally just switched to Redline 5w30 after a lot of positive feedback from the forum members.

:iagree:


And before this thread turns into another Oil thread I'm closing it.

And like it has been suggested please use the Search > Advance Search > Oil
