Every manufacturer recommends using THEIR brand of oil.
Even then, there's no proof that Nissan-branded oil will perform better in terms of performance and longevity.
IMO, with it being a "new oil" on the market with some nano-particles, it being dino oil with ester additives...says to me that it could be worse for your engine.
Someone on here had a blackstone test done, and all they used was Nissan oil. Blackstone said they saw a lot more wear than expected for mileage.
