My 2004 doesn't have synthetic. Also, my owner's manual states, "NISSAN recommends mineral based oils."

Some think the valves won't seat until 10,000 miles, but I changed to Mobile 1 at 4700 miles and others changed as soon as they got the car. No ill effects have been observed that I know of to date.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against synthetic oil. In fact, I'm probably going to switch to synthetic after 10,000 to 15,000 miles. I'll PROBABLY be perfectly fine and I hope that my engine will be better off with synthetic oil!
