So then I guess I would need to find out at what temp the type of oil I use starts to break down and lubricate as well.

While each brand of oil should show some differences in exact temps, but from a couple quick searches, most conventional oils (which I assume includes Nissan Ester) starts to break down around 250°F and most synthetics appear to be rated up to around 290-300°F.
