My next change after that will be at about 7K (and about every 3K after that, +/- depending on how hard I work the oil), and I'll be switching to a quality synthetic that is known to have the Esters, just to be on the safe side (so far I've heard Mobil 1 Extended Performance and Motul 300V placed in that category, but there are probably others).

That Nissan oil is about $12/qt btw
Just so you know the Motul 300V is excellent stuff but is for racing only as it has no cleaning ability, although it will last better under race conditions than other oils. you will need to change it out VERY soon as to how soon, contact Motul and ask.
