Nissan Ester Oil

SoCal 370Z

The name is incorrect at that price. It should read Ankle-Grabbing Engine Oil 5W-30,

I hear ya

The G37 thread says this is a group V synthetic. Does anyone know if our cars come from the factory with esther oil in them? Do normal synthetic opinions apply, such as allowing seating to occur before switching from dino oil to synthetic?

Expensive but I guess it's worth it.

AFAIK the Nissan Ester Oil pictured above is dino with synthetic ester-based additives to help out with keeping a good lube film on the VVEL stuff. Motul 300V is a Group V full-synthetic which is ester based, and is what I'm going to be switching to on my next change (I did my first change at about 1850 with the Nissan Ester stuff). Unfortunately, the Motul costs even a bit more than the Nissan stuff. Better value for the money though.

You know, this is what I thought as well ........ dino with ester additives. The G37 link in this thread stated group V synthetic, which I think is incorrect, unless you can classify as a group V synthetic as dino with additives.

If you're referring to early in that thread where someone says, "A little research shows that it's a group V synthetic.", I think they meant that a little research indicated that "ester" itself is a group V synthetic, not that the Nissan Ester Oil is all group V synthetic. It's a dino oil with esters added.

Royal Purple is cheaper and probably as good or better than the Nissan-branded stuff (after break-in). FWIW.

Amsoil is much better and lasts much longer and will come out to save a lot more money than using RP.

RP is great for people who rebuild their engines on a regular basis, like funny cars and stuff. But for most of us who use our cars to go back and forth to work, Amsoil is the way to go. It's the most cost-effective oil and there's not another oil on the market more convenient to use. They back up their oil with a written warranty. If anything happens from the results of their oil, they will pay to fix your engine. I don't see any other oil companies offering to do that.
