Nissan Ester Oil

Got my first oil change today (free as part of initial service call). There is a small upcharge for Nissan Ester oil if you want it.

A Nissan Ester oil change costs $64 INCLUDING ALL TAXES AND FEES at Baker-Jackson Nissan in Houston. Compared to some stories I've heard, that is a real bargain.

I'll say this, my car was noticeably smoother and quieter after the Ester went in. My guess is that the factory fill is not Ester. This truly is the most dramatic change I've ever felt after an oil change. In my opinion, it's well worth it, even at full price.

Is that true? Nissan doesn't put Ester Oil in at the factory???? Can anyone confirm this? I went through the owners manual, and could not find conformation one way or the other.

Seems like they should have put in Ester. Up to now, I was under the impression that they did!
