Dealer told me synthetic oil not recommended
I recently took my 04 coupe to a dealer for service. The dealer saw that I used Pennzoil synthetic oil in my engine and told me Infiniti actually don't recommend synthetic for G35 engines because it's too thin. Any comments?

synthetic is better for any and all engines ..

they push theyre product and only their product ..

Synthetic yes....Pennzoil NFW....!
The very best thing you can do for your engine is use synthetic oil and a
quality filter. The Stealership would love to sell you a new motor because
the old one died of gooooo. One other point, I wouldn't use any Pennzoil
products even in my lawnmower. Mobil 1....Royal Purple or my favorite Red Line synthetic only!

regardless, i started using it about a year ago. if it works for all the hi-po engines out there, it stands to reason that we should be fine.
Sounds like your dealer is seriously retarded.

Why would you assume a service writer [shop commissioned salesman] knows anything about engines? Dealerships are lucky to get a certified master technican and maybe a somewhat educated service manager.
