Looking at the post by 007 it seems that the TBN of Mobil 1 7500 is really low for an extended change oil. Also, several folks have commented that Nissan ester must be the best because Nissan recommends it. It may be however, just because a company recommends the oil they sell does not mean it is best. Nissan's only concern is that the engines make it through the warranty period. I am not saying that it is not the best but we just don't know yet and I don't always trust companies that are buildiing for a specific price point in the market. If the engineers were giving you the best info on the 370 then we would not be having issues with oil temps because they would come with a cooler whether some think they need it or not...This is a sports car.
