Only the Nissan ESTER OIL has enough esters to be called an ester oil. This oil is made only for the Z and comes only in a single viscosity.


A single viscosity oil would be for example a 30 where it stays that weight. A multiple viscosity oil is a 5w30 where the weight changes due to temperature.

Nissan Ester oil only has a small percentage of ester base in it where brands like Red Line is all pure Ester oil.
