As far as "best" synthetic oil, that'll be debateable until the end of time. Pick a brand of oil, check it reguarly and keep it topped off. Use a company like Blackstone for an oil analysis after your oil change and they'll tell you how the oil (and engine) is performing.

Nissan "recommends" its own brand Ester Oil in the manual, however that is not required.
Mattie, you've never seen 230? I've seen it but only in heavy traffic in 90+ temps. And it never got above 230, even when sitting on I-95 in the Bronx at 95F outside temp.
