Only the Nissan ESTER OIL has enough esters to be called an ester oil. This oil is made only for the Z and comes only in a single viscosity.

A single viscosity oil would be for example a 30 where it stays that weight. A multiple viscosity oil is a 5w30 where the weight changes due to temperature.

Nissan Ester oil only has a small percentage of ester base in it where brands like Red Line is all pure Ester oil.

A single "viscosity" i.e. only comes in 5W30, not a single weight oil.

Oil threads are so much fun. I don't even remember what the original question was.
