Personally, I shy away from it, but I do use their filters.

Oh, and that nissan ester oil is a crock. The uoa's for that oil havent' been any better (and sometimes worse) than many other oils out there.
This is exactly why I typically run Castrol Syntec 0w30. The UOA's seem to be pretty good for my Z so far.
