Nissan Ester Oil

My question is, is there a cheaper ester based oil that we can get from an auto parts store that will work just as well?

Synthetic with Esters is easy to get but petro based with Esters is tough. I haven't come across any major brands that do it.

Supposedly German Castrol GTX but stores don't sell it anymore. I'm trying to figure this one out as well.

... maybe Nissan coming out with their own oil is justified after all.

Is this oil new to the 370Z or has it been at the dealerships for several years?

To my knowledge, it's been out since the G37 has been out.
