I worked in research for several years, now I work in industry.
A question for you: In general reading on the subject I found that Red Line Synthetic oil (I have some on the shelf in preparation for my first at-home oil change in February) was classified as an ester oil, as such would it be an appropriate alternative to Nissans ester oil? On previous vehicles I haven't worried a great deal about which oil I used other than to make sure that it met the appropriate SAE spec. The Z if a different animal and I don't want to screw it up as I plan to keep the car a long (6-10 years) time.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
