I believe the BITOG forums show the same. Yes its super Ester oil but it doesn't seem to protect well.
Same basic block, but very different cylinder heads on the VQ35's in the 350's, and the VQ37VHR that's in the G37 and 370Z. I tried to avoid reading too much into 350 results, and focus on VQ37VHR results.
