Check your service manual and see if the previous owner had his service done by Nissan and if they actually stamped it. If so you may consider continuing doing the same simply so there can never be any question whether or not the vehicle was properly maintained. They will charge and it will be more expensive than doing it yourself, but it may be worth it, especially if you have an extended warranty.

If previous service hasn't been logged you might as well do it your self. It's pretty simple, will be less expensive, and I believe there are DIY guides for engine, trans, and diff oil changes.

As for the choice in oil, I can't get the Red line stuff in my area unless I mail order so I went with Pennzoil Ultra. Both oils contain esters and should be good alternatives to the Nissan stuff.
