Yup. It's very easy to overthink engine oil. It's not magic. The quality difference between any of the major brand synthetic oils is negligible. Not true of filters, however. With filters, you have to be a little careful. Best appear to be Wix, K&N, AC Delco. Reportedly, the Nissan filter isn't bad, although pricey for what you get.
