I think it has been determined that it doesn't do that as well as most good synthetics.
Nissan has kept quite on the details on the oil to spook people into thinking it has some magical properties, but any decent oil will do the same job.
The benefit to the Ester oil is it is supposed to react with the DLC coating on the cam follower, and helps prevent the tapping noise you will hear sometimes when you don't run the Ester oil.
