I don't entirely agree with that statement. While it may be useless in the context of a 'which oil is best?' discussion until we see UOAs with other oils, by itself it's at least useful in that it shows Redline does a good job at protecting this engine. Does it do a better job than any other oil? Couldn't tell ya. But the UOA I did with Redline at least didn't throw any red flags, like some other oils did on the 350Z (Motul comes to mind). Hopefully as time progresses, other 370Z owners using other oils will share their UOA results, and we can start doing side by side comparisons. But for now, this UOA at least tells us that Redline is a safe choice.
