Huh? How did you dream that up? And they do now offer an oil cooler...

There is a Nissan TSB that says to use Nissan's Ester oil when a customer is complaining about excessive valvetrain noise. Nissan also has a bunch of marketing verbiage as to why everyone should be using their Ester oil, but the only real practical reason that they seem to have is to reduce valvetrain noise, not to reduce oil temps or eliminate the need for an oil cooler if you're tracking your car.
