There are a number of people here who have used non-ester synthetic oils that seem to be ok.

"Seem to be ok".. That is the issue. How do these people know if all is ok without tearing down the engine ans using a micrometer etc to determine if all is truly ok. I think Ester oils have a higher heat stability than other synth oils and that iswhy nissan specs them.
BTW, you buy approx 35,000 dollar car and $100 is going to break you? that is stretching the budget?
