Nissyn oil by Conoco

**jackaroo** · April 19th, 2005 11:45 PM

Upon asking Nissan if they allow the use of synthetic oil on the Xtrail, they replied only if you use their synth oil- Nissyn 15w40 by Conoco. Well, i checked out this so-called synth oil which costs P2360/4L at the dealer. It's rated for both diesel and gas, API CI/SL.
This is very, very similar to Conoco's hydroclear Power-D 15w40, which carries the same Api rating, a hydrocracked mineral oil which is marketed as an alternative to synth oil. It's not a synth oil rather a higher quality mineral oil.
If its the same oil, just re-branded by nissan, then it's not worth P590/L- you can buy hydroclear power-D 15w40 at P850/4L or P212/L.

Been using this brand of oil (Nis-Syn) since my last two PMS and this oil has done wonders to my '92 model sentra. It's fully synthetic and oil-seal friendly to high mileaged cars. The engine runs/idles smoothly as ever and my mileage increased from 8.5 to 10 kml/L on city driving. And according to the Casa S.A., it's proven safe for 10k oil change interval... which of course I'm afraid to follow - ehehehe (scary

).
