Hello everyone first time poster here, great site I'm happy I found it.
Ok here is the background, I have a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder LE, 44,000 miles original owner. I have changed the oil every 3000 miles or 3 months, it was always 3 months as most of my driving is city, NYC. I only use the car every other week, it sits for 7 days and then I use it around town for 7 days and a few long trips. Heading to Canada soon 900 miles RT. I have been getting the oil changed at a Nissan dealer with a coupon from 15.99 to 19.99 depending on what the special is that month.
My question, should I switch to synth? If I do what would be the advantages, cost, time, longer life of the engine?
I plan to keep the truck until she cant go anymore.
Thanks
