I am a bit concerned though about warranty. I have changed the oil 4 times so far -- the first change was performed at the dealer (at 2,000) and the other three by me. Nissan Ester was used the first two and Redline 5-30 the second two. Oh yes, I also change the filter at the same time as oil (K&N or PureOne). Is there going to be a problem, warranty-wise, because I performed my own oil changes?

I also have a GTM Motorsports 19 row oil cooler installed.

I appreciate your comments. Thanks and have a great day.
You don't have an oil consumption issue.
