There are more threads and posts on oil here than you can shake a stick at. I suggest reading as many as you can and then make a decision on what oil to use.

Be careful though, as everyone has an opinion on oil it seems and the percent of people who actually know something besides anecdotal fluff is small.

Mobil 1 gets good reviews from most people. Personally, I do not use it anymore because my engine seemed noisy after about 2500 miles with the Mobil 1 in it (this is opinion only and not based on anything scientific). The Mobil 1 did deliver strong performance based on the oil analyses I had done.

I currently use Eneos 5w 30 full synthetic.

Ester is recommended but not required, I used Ester for my first oil change, and I plan to change for my next oil change (probably Redline). Here's a link that you will find helpful read through it you may decide what is better yourself. Nissan Ester Oil
