Sorry, there is a wealth of information to contradict your thinking. ie.. why does Nissan keep using dino oil while synthetics have been proven superior?? Cost would be one.

And I respectfully disagree that any "Nissan technican" knows ANYTHING he wasn't told by Nissan. So along with the inherent ignorance most techs I've dealt with spew, you have Nissan's own bias towards using their own parts thrown in.

i don't know much about it but i think jeff92se has a point. it all depends on who ya ask. now if ya ask a nissan dealer he'll tell ya to get light bulbs only from them because the circuits are designed for their light bulbs only <---Pun intended. so well can only really go on people who have tried different types.
