I was thinking of changing my "break in" OEM oil a little early 1500-2000 miles and was wondering if that is too quick to replace with Redline or should I go back with Nissan's Ester blend for another 2K-3K miles and then go with Redline?

Thanks!

That's exactly what I did. Changed OEM at 2000 miles, drove around regular oil for another 1800 miles. 3800 miles = Redline Synthetic.
