If I'm not mistaken, its a group 2 oil (dino) with an ester additive and some sort of nano-particle.

it's not a synthetic. it's conventional. and it's $13/ qt.

if i'm not mistaken, it's not recommended to use synthitic until the motor is broken in.

and now it's even more complicated b/c of this ester thing.

if someone can just recommend something that meets nissan's recommendation and does not cost $90 per oil change, i'm listening! i'm not looking for the "best thing your egine has ever seen", super-duper oil.
