Nissan Ester Oil

I assume my 370Z came from the factory with Nissan Ester in it. I've changed the oil twice since then NOT using Nissan Ester (Castrol GTX) and I can hear absolutely no difference in the sound of the engine today (~7,700 miles) versus the day I took delivery (8 miles). Just sayin'

Ester is mostly likely in the Castrol GTX formulation.

You may be right but when I looked at the data sheet on it I don't recall any specific mention of ester additives. If it's part of the formulation, Castrol apparently doesn't think it's a feature worth touting.
