So Recently I sold my 2014 fusion, and bought a 2017 Nissan Frontier with 17000 miles on it. It was just serviced about 300 miles ago by the dealer, with unknown 5w30 oil. It has the 4.0 v/6. I am not a hard driver. I plan on changing the oil this fall, and then again in the spring as I have been doing on my daily drivers for years. Not many miles between changes, but a LOT of short trips. The book calls for 5w30, but doesn't spec conventional or synthetic. I have a small stash of mobil 0w30. I am thinking of using for the fall change. OK??? I would think so, but it is still under full warranty, so I don't want to mess up anything.
One other question, I see that the oil filter is TINY, should it definitely be changed every oil change, or if I use the Fram XLsynthetic filter could I keep it on for a full year? In that year, I will not put on more than 6000 miles, and probably less. But boy is that filter tiny. Many on lawn mowers are bigger.
