Factory oil
Tried a search and did not find this. Does anyone know what oil Nissan puts in the engines at the factory? The 7th gen Maxima in particular? Is it the Nissan ester oil as the manual recommends? Thanks for any help.

im pretty sure they use a chevron based conventional oil, plus they have break in oil in them when they first ship the cars off
