Subsequent switch to another brand of oil saw much better results. This was on an engine with >10k mi also so it's not attributed to break in wear.

I believe the BITOG forums show the same. Yes its super Ester oil but it doesn't seem to protect well.

Same basic block, but very different cylinder heads on the VQ35's in the 350's, and the VQ37VHR that's in the G37 and 370Z. I tried to avoid reading too much into 350 results, and focus on VQ37VHR results.
