Ester oil is nissan house blend: synthetic oil with ester additives. It's not mandatory, just recommended by nissan....
The realty is though you can use any oil you want as long as it is in spec with what nissan says. Redline works just fine (along with Royal purple, mobile one, and what ever else people will say).
I personally just switched to Redline 5w30 after a lot of positive feedback from the forum members.
