the last time i used synthetic motor oil was for my flat roof patrol with a gas fed engine.

i think it's a nissan thing, medyo mapili daw sa type of oil. if i remember correctly, yung mga cefiro nila, may restrictions din sa oil.

i don't think mas magaling ang casa kesa sa manufacturer. the warning sticker was put there for a reason. siguradong mas malaki kasi ang profit (and their total sales) ng casa kung synthetic oil ang ilagay nila. besides, kapag nagkaproblem yung engine, charged to the manufacturer naman yan and hindi sila ang gagastos. and kapag out of warranty na, yung owner naman ang gagastos.

boybi -- that is true also. but just in case something happens and i have to go after them, i will not base my cause of action on the vehicle warranty. ang basis ng complaint ko will be their gross negligence and misrepresentation considering that as a duly authorized car dealer and service center, it is incumbent upon them to know which motor oils are for what vehicles. wala naman akong pinirmahan na waiver that i am aware that this motor oil is not for the patrol yet i insisted on having this put in, hehehehe

pero, so far okay pa naman

but, have you thought about the effect of synthetic oil on your engine? maaaring hindi agad lumabas ang problema, but, what if next PMS mo, nag mineral oil ka, tapos dun nagkaproblem. how can you prove that it was caused by the synthetic oil that was used before/now?

just talked to my friend at nissan north edsa and the motor oil they put is conoco nissin mineral based oil. this is approved by nissan philippines for all nissan diesel engines. it has the same effect/performance/quality as your synthetic oil daw
