i've been reading up a little bit on the nissan ester oil and it turns out that it's not an "ester-based" oil, but just a conventional oil with "ester additives". is this correct?

if so, then what other alternatives (brands) are on the market for oils with ester additives that are reasonably priced?

some people feel very strongly about oils and dont mind paying a hefty price and swear by their chosen brand. i'm not one of those.

i, however, do want to use and ester oil as nissan recommends but dont want to pay $10-12 bucks for a quart. i think that's just rediculous!

any recommendations?

i'm assuming that the oil in the car from the factory is the nissan ester oil - anyone know what weight it is?
