I've used Redline and the Nissan Ester Oil and had Blackstone analyze both after about 3K miles of driving (one at 15K miles and the other at 18K). Redline oil does equally as well as the Ester Oil in terms of wear, and not sure how it would cause more damage to the stock catalytic converter.

 You should probably have the oil tested BEFORE you take advice from "some mechanic" on this very complicated fluid. There are many companies that do oil testing. Their results can confirm or deny any short-comings of any oil on the market.
