Nissan Ester Oil, how it works inside the 370z engine vs other brands

Only reason Nissan was recommending the Ester oil, based on the article, is due to the DLC coating in the valve train. I have owned guns with the DLC coating

Only reason Nissan was recommending the Ester oil, based on the article, is due to the DLC coating in the valve train. I have owned guns with the DLC coating and I used to use grease as a lubricant because the oil would not create a film on the coated parts. Their oil is supposed to bond to the DLC thereby creating less friction. Not sure if the GTR has DLC coated parts but I am guessing that it does not based on the full synthetic recommendation.
