i was told that synthetic oil is not good for our motors by a service advisor at palm beach nissan there performence shop. i just need to know is this true or does he not know what he is talking about?

 

Believe it or not I was also told the same thing by the service manager at Bill Seidel Nissan in Miami, Fl: I'm on the fence on the same issue and get mixed advice from friends with Zs. So far I have not been using synthetic. I wonder if anyone can give a definitive answer?

as this has been discussed many times. You'll find some people swear by synthetics, others absolutely avoid them. There's probably no single right or wrong answer.

More important than anything is regular oil changes. If you perform that simple task, that will help guarantee a long engine life.

 

i know that i am just use to using synthetic in all my cars, even my old g35 coupe that i had i always used synthetic now i got this guy telling me it will hurt the car and who am i supposed to believe the guy that does it for a living or what everyone else thinks. i was just looking for a fact i guess it was that guys opinion

 

my service advisor here in colorado said i can use synthetic if i want, either goes. i just got a new motor so we broke it on conventional, its been 4k miles, she said wait till the next change if i want to go sythentic though.

 

read this thread for ALL you could ever need to know about oil. synthetic and Dino. Then make your own INFORMED decision.
