Can you please make a scan of this page and post it here? Our 370Z is one of the first in the States and nowhere in the Owners Manual is this stated. The Service Manual makes a reference to Nissan ester engine being recommended, but not mandatory. And what exactly are those "...specifications, and requirements..." that are being referenced? Even Nissan can not answer these questions. We have Nissan employees here at the forum and they have not anted-up either.

Nissan is solely at the center of the propagation of misinformation as Nissan has been nothing but vague and ambitious regarding their own oil, and the Z's engine. To me, if Nissan has an oiling issue at the top-end of the VQ37VHR, then Nissan should have engineered it better or made their voodoo ester available as an additive.
