Pretty sure there's some comments on this forum from way back - Nissan's original "magic 370Z oil" was mineral base with some esters added. If you used a generic oil you'd get lifter/VVEL noise. But I believe Nissan have stopped selling it now and everyone just uses synthetic oil. Bonus points (and quieter) if you're using a PAO ester oil apparently.
