There is one regarding replacement of the VVEL system components...or maybe it was the ECU - or something to that effect. It requires the techs to remove the customer oil and replace it with Nissan's oil.
That, I'm sure is related to their testing, and establishing a very common foundation between their test environment, and what the mechanic will do - in otherwords, if they don't do it, they can't guarantee the results simply because they haven't tested it with other oils.
Makes sense...from a scientific standpoint.
