Nissan Ester Oil

You make a perfect educated point.

But it seems you drive a hell of a lot, and most of it likely highway miles (right? 200 miles of city... I don't think so), so obviously, there is lowered stress as to constant stop and go, and short rides.

Performance wise, I don't know pure numbers, but because oil companies are so secretive about their formulation makes it difficult to determine what group oils are a part of. I don't know if AMSOIL is group 4 or 5 (my guess is a little of both with a PAO base stock versus pure polyol ester stock).
