Default synthetic oil--without ester

My wrenchmeister at the local dealership cautioned me not to use anything but Ester oil as there would be a knock in the engine. I would prefer Amsoil as I have used it for 30 years in Porsches, Toyota twin turbo etc. It meets all API requirements. Ester oil @ 13.00/quart is almost good enough to drink!

thus redline ester synthetic at 10-11 a quart is slightly better.
