Actually it has merit. The ester oil is made up of 0.5% of their nano-particles in suspension which are attracted to the DLC coating, theoretically allowing the metal surface to hold an oil film for a longer period, reducing friction and noise.
There have been plenty of articles talking about how great this technolgy is (in theory) but I've yet to see anyone do some empirical testing to see if it really does make a difference or if it is just marketing hype that allows them to sell overpriced oil.
