Nissan recommends 3,750 anyways. The reason they also recommend ester is for the VVEL. The biggest thing to running a higher quality oil even if you change it the same amount is to stop and prevent wear. The ester oil also has many more inherited beneficial properties with it.
no.... and im not saying it was dark. the sh1t came out looking like molasses. (and yes i know the diamond polished components in the VVEL need ester to fully coat and cool the parts...yada yada yada.....)

bottom line the ester oil is amazing stuff, just not worth it in my DD.
