2006 Murano

My Wife's Car.

I recently purchased a 2006 Nissan Murano for my wife. Bought it back in September '13. Good thing......especially with this winter. It has been a rock and at least I feel very confident when my wife drives it while encountering bad weather......which seems to be every 3rd day this year.

My question is this. The car has only 58K miles on her. I'm not familiar with 3.5L engine, but I have been advised it is the same engine that was in the 350z. I just had the oil changed with Nissan Ester the other day. Is this overkill? Does the 3.5L have VVEL like the 3.7L?

Are there any benefits to using the Ester here or should I just stick with conventional oil?

Many thanks.

Its a vq35 like the 350 but tuned for suv performance. No vvel. Standard mobil 1 should be fine. Ester is not absolutely necessary.
