im not sure what brand. But i just took mine to the dealership and they changed all of mine and put syn. in the whole car. You can call a dealership and ask them what kind of syn. they put in their cars.

the only fluid i know that is highly recommended to stay oem with is the auto transmission fluid or matic j. i have seen some oil manuf. sites that showed they had equivalents for it now but i currently do not know anyone that has tried it. you can use dexron/mercon 3 auto transmission fluid for power steering or any equialent, (mobil 1 atf, etc.) the diff oil you just need something close the oem weight and GL5. i used mobil 1 75w-90 with good results. nissan does recommend their coolant as it has a low silica count but i have used the all brands prestone with no negatives. brake fluid should just be dot 3. these recommendation can be backed up in your manual or by checking the esm/fsm.
