Hi,
I have an '02 Maxima SE that recently had a new engine put in to replace a bearing problem in the original (thank goodness for extended warranties!). I have about 78K miles on the car and would like to convert both the engine and transmission oils to synthetics. I've read through many of the older posts about whether synthetic is really worth it or not and don't want to get into that again, but would like to hear some recommendations on which products are suited to this car. Primarily, I'm concerned with the automatic transmission oil as some of the past posts were a bit confusing to me. Also, is there something special I would need to do in order to switch over to synthetics? Should I wait a bit for the engine to break in again before going to synthetic? Are special oil filters required?
