Gotcha! I'm thinking Mobil 1 as a good synthetic, I'll look up that web site that Jeff B mentioned and see what it has to say.

Thanks. Now how much does this OEM oil filter cost? And how much does the mobile one synthetic cost. And will I get better gas mileage or will my Car run better with a synthetic? I drive an 03 Nissan Pathfinder SE, I used to work in some auto shop and was asked to recommend synthetic motor oil to folks on the grounds that it simply last longer, so I did I have never until now had something that was worth the extra money to put the pricey oil into.

The engine will run cooler, and you might see an uptick in mileage. Generally with the same viscosity you probably won't see much difference, but the synthetic oil is better at maintaining flow, especially in cooler weather.
