Didn't Nissan develop their oil specifically to eliminate VVEL noise?

Mobil1 ftw! I use it in everything from my lawnmower to my other vehicles, including my motorcycles. If I add up total mileage on my other 3 vehicles, I come up with approx 400,000 miles with no internal engine issues (knock wood).

edit: and that is the standard Mobil1 I buy at Costco.
