The Castrol synthetic blend will be fine for your car. However, it doesn't have the Ester that is in the Nissan oil. People call the Nissan Ester oil a "blend" because it is dino base oil with esters. Esters typically don't come in motor oils (even synthetics) except in the most expensive of them all (Redline, Motul, to name a few). So, if you were using the Castrol syntec blend to get the Esters, its unlikely that you did. You might have gotten some of the PAO additives.
