Well roller rockers are worth about 10-15bhp at this level, so lets see some proof on the dyno. Run Ester for 1500 miles and dyno, then run Mobil 1 for 1500 miles and dyno again. SAE corrected both times. Then drain the Mobil 1, put the ester back in, and roll it back on the dyno and see if the power level goes back up after the car cools down and is run again after the oil change.
THEN I will be a believer.

I have no personal stake in this, I just happen to know a bit about how it works.
If you have access to the Tribology International journal, you'll be able to read the methodology and results for yourself. Hell, they even spell out the name of the chemical compound and the base oil composition by wt.% so you can tell yourself whether or not the the components that make the ester oil effective are in whatever flavor of oil you like to run.
JSME has reviewed the work and recognized Nissan and the researchers behind this.
