Any oil that has the API starburst on it and meets the current API service classification will be perfectly fine. No advantage to synthetic if you're going to adhere to Nissan's drain interval recommendations. Group III base-stock oils have such reduced need for VI improvers that VI breakdown from shear or heat just doesn't happen.
