One more update for the curious: UOA #6: Nissan Ester 5W-30 - '08 Infiniti G37, 5k mi Cliff notes: Ester still shearing, iron stable but not improving. Trying Penn Ultra next time.

Update for the curious: Nissan Ester 5W-30 - '08 Infiniti G37, 5k mi

Hey guys, Nissan Ester 5W-30 (booooo) w/OEM filter 4,985 mi on oil 22,633 mi on car 2008 Infiniti G37S w/VQ37HR Lots of highway driving in the summer (road trip from the deep south to New England and to the Midwest), then a 1k mi or so of midwest city driving, plus three months sitting in the...

Originally Posted By: jhc Jonny, I thought I read in the old thread that you were moving over to Redline? Any thoughts along those lines? I just stumbled upon this post today, and I have a '07 G35x with (obviously) the 3.5L, and am now a bit worried about the longevity of this platform...

Originally Posted By: addyguy Although it goes against the wisdom here, I'd say you need a thicker oil. This stuff is shearing like crazy, and not protecting your engine. Just what does the owners manual 'allow' for viscosity for this engine? If it allows for the use of 40-weights, I'd try a...

Gents, Newest UOA up for continued discussion. Cliff notes: Lead/Silicon down, Iron better-ish... http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1902356&#Post1902356

Hey folks, Nissan Ester 5W-30 1,553mi on oil 17,648mi on car 2008 Infiniti G37S This discussion ties into this thread regarding high iron and lead from my previous UOA: Nissan Ester 5W-30-'08 Infiniti G37, 4.5kmi...Bad Mostly highway driving due to a roadtrip on this current UOA. Looks like...

Well, I hope someone finds this useful or interesting. Nissan Ester 5W30 P/N 999MP-5W30MP http://i44.tinypic.com/f4h4bl.jpg

VOA is up: http://i44.tinypic.com/f4h4bl.jpg

Just a head's up - I bit the bullet and sent in a sample of the Nissan oil for a clean VOA this weekend. Hopefully that wasn't a waste of money :)

Originally Posted By: JonfromCB Maxx', Jonny, You are right about the VQ335 however, we're not discussing the VQ35. Your snide remarks indicate you are unaware of the mechanical differences betweeen the VQ35 and the VQ37 VVEL. The 37 is neither a enlarged displacement 35 nor a variation of it...

I hear ya...sometimes it's better just not to feed the trolls :)

Originally Posted By: JonfromCB BINGO! Ed is right-on. I'm a Infiniti nut and have researched this whole VQ37/VVEL/Nissan Ester Oil issue in depth and almost to a point of a sickness and compulsion. This oil is all about incrreasing fleet mileage by significantly reducing friction directly at...

Originally Posted By: Steve S Originally Posted By: edhackett The problem is not with the oils. It's Nissan's engineering.

Originally Posted By: Sunstealer I have an '09 G37 with the same engine. The owner's manual for mine ONLY lists 5W-30 as the recommended viscosity. No ranges are given for different temperatures like some manuals list. Sunstealer is right - only 5W-30 is listed.

Joe - No worries. Thanks for being civil. There are a couple other points, but I'm running out the door for work. Here's a few real fast: - Regarding June, it wasn't hot...it was 40 degrees F, and cloudy with cold mist - All the other UOAs were of different dinos during the break-in period. I...

Anyhow, For the non-***clowns who know how to read, thanks for helping out. My plan is to do a short OCI, and put in the Nissan Ester again. I'll see how the that UOA looks and go from there. I've got several long road trips this summer, so I'll have plenty of opportunities to add some miles...
