that's strange! porsche uses synthetic motor
oil in their cars & recommends the
use of synthetic oil on oil changes - specifically Mobil 1. maybe some engines (not just nissan)are not compatible with synthetic oil.

From what i've gathered, i think they are using this more as a precaution as a lot of people have a notion that using synth can extend their drain intervals which resulted in engine sludging. I have friends who use Mobil 1 on their rides and still change religiously and no problems arise. Also, the gasket leaks may also come with the higher mileage engines where the usually slicker viscousity synth oil will have more chances of leaking.
We've had long discussions on this in Nissanbayan as there are mixed reactions to this. My stand was that you can use synth but choose the proper viscousity and change every 5K pa rin. On an actual basis I dont use synth as i find the regular mineral oil suitable enough and i change the oil religiously.

June 17th, 2004 07:20 AM #16Oil question on Xtrail:
Casa uses a 15w40 oil by caltex rated for both gas/ diesel. They don't recommend use of Synth oil, but don't know why.
Have you heard of anyone using synth oil on a QR20 engine?
Manual says 10w30, 10w50, 15w40, 15w50 covers exactly the same temp range- any idea why they recommend a 15w40 diesel oil?

been sing synthetics like Divinol, Mobil1, Fuchs, Castrol since 99 on a Y60 Patrol and the only problem I encountered was when topped it with gasoline Mobile1 before a trip to Baguio and it developed a clacking sound but eventually disappeared on the second day. No leaks at all ever since 99. (fingers crossed)
