I switched to M1 5W30 at 1000 miles mark on my G37. Same engine, never used any oil. Car runs great on M1 0W40.

Brutal...5w30 for track use...and with a turbo.. I am hesitate to use it even for spirited street driving on a hot day with an NA engine.

Wow..at this rate of oil consumption, you may never need another oil change.

I don't know if I should use the Pure one I have on hand, or just throw it in the trash bin and forget about I have ever spent $7 on it.

G37's OEM size is M1-108 which is the undersized version of M1-110. The GTR uses M1-110. Why would Nissan specify larger version for the GTR?

Not exactly a flaw other than a cosmetic machine mark. Two of the filters I have have this tiny dent/flat spot close to the can opening. I wouldn't worry about it.
