After reading the info on the Nissan Ester oil on bobistheoilguy's site, I can't see anyone using anything other than this oil - especially if you are changing your oil every 3500-4000 miles. A couple of interesting notes from that article: the ester additive is different than the ester based Redline and Amsoil oil and the Hydrogen free DLC coating is a Nissan patent, is expensive, and not available in any other oil. I recommend reading the entire article.
