Myth: Mineral vs Synthetic EO
rongshu:
Just want to clarify something. I went for 10k servicing last month. When I asked the technician to use my own Amsoil engine oil, he told me no refund. The mystery part is he said if using own engine oil, the next service interval will be 5k instead of 10k which is standard for synthetic oil.
I'm really puzzled about the statement: service interval will be 5k if using own engine oil. Anyone here have been told the same thing?
In the end i kept my Amsoil oil and used their Fasflo oil.
Ender:
I service 10k and 20k with AMsoil and Mobil1 synthetic. Both times TC state change at the next 10K.. Which centre did you go to? I did my at lokyang
robtan99:
Its the way they reply to all customer now by TCM. I been using my engine oil from 10k to 50k and they say nothing. Anyway the price they quote is always without the engine oil. If you can login to ww.nissan.com.sg you can see the price.
During my 50k servicing, they say exactly the same thing and ask me to come back after 5k, thats why i go to autosaver for servicing now.

Find it strange as FC should be better with synthetic oil. Travel pattern unchange. Anyone has the same experience?

Hello HC,
It normal, your ECU need time to get use to different grade of EO used. No worry it will improve. ;)

bro you can attempt the ECU reset. i did it on mine n the reset works:

you will get about 2 tanks of bad FC and the engine will feel like it's new, but subsequently it will improve. give it a try, and update your results in that thread :)
