    I switched over to synthetic 2 days after getting the car. Engine certainly ran noticeably quieter. Just did a 5500 km synthetic oil change yesterday. No knock that I can detect. Bought a bunch of Wix oil filters because the Nissan filter is Fram. Shop around for synthetic, somebody is always selling it at a reduced price.

    Facebook seem to get the most attention. There is someone constantly monitoring their social media.
    Send them a link to this thread.

    I use pennzoil 5w-30 100% grp 5 synthetic.
    I still get the noise.
    I dont like fram paper filters but the ultra syn filter with metal screen filters and a recommended life of 20k
    I still only use it for less then half. But i feel its working well.
    I love wix.

    Hmmm.... Skirted along the outside there we see....

    So I called them.. Lovely people working there and asked directly, they were unable to provide me with any information about it. They said that they wouldnt know anything about it.

    My service manager at my dealership is very much aware, but all they do is recrate the bad motors and send them back.. Likely back to nissan R&D for inspection.

    Alas my hunt has come up fruitless freinds. Im just hoping to save someone else the headache of trying to get answers. All we can do is wait and see what the mothership produces.

    Which Facebook blog did you post to? I can't seem to find it.

    I asked my dealer to put in Full Synthetic (Mobile 1) and they said they will.

    The wind is still blowing here in Ottawa.
