Not quite - Nissan recommends using their oil which has particles in it to work with the valvetrain, and is suspected to have Esters.
Outside of that, the manual says you can use any oil as long as it meets specs outlined in the manual, which is pretty much any 5w-30 on the shelf these days...but, I'd at least recommend a reputable synthetic.
