Does the 2009 Nissan 290 HP engine require, (must), the use of Nissan Ester oil?

Does your owners manual call for this special oil and at what interval does it need to be changed 5,000 7,500 10,000 stop by a napa auto care center or a chvron oil stop and see what their opinion is

I want the same question answered, I had a regular oil change with no problems

I had the same question when I first bought mine....The service manual clearly states that the oil used needs to be ester oil...Now, you can go ahead and use standard motor oil, but A: you will void your warranty and B: the car won't perform as well.

I had the same problem, Its no where in written stating that Synthatic oil is required but my dealer said that i need to use synthetic oil. When I asked for supporting documentation, they were unable to provide one.

I also got that show when I just took our maxima in for it's first oil change. The service manager there told me it was recommended but that I could still use regular oil

I also have a 2009 Maxima that I purchased new and now have 44,000 miles on it. I have searched everywhere and been told the same thing. I was furious but have not been able to find anything saying different. They don't tell you this when you buy the darn car.

I have owned my 2009 Maxima since 8-08. I ony use 5w-30 Mobile One full syntheic. I now have 70,000 miles with no problems. I spend $30 on oil and filter. Go to Nissan and they should change the oil for less than $10. I also change it at 10,000 mile intervals.
