Ok ty for the explaination. But every oil 'claims' they do that as well, do we have any kind of 3rd party testing to proove it? Or is this what Nissan reccomends, and through personal trials you find it better?

It's just I've never seen redline, and have been very happy with Royal Purple so I was planning to stick with them...
