Saying you will "feel" the difference by switching oils is the placebo effect with a shot of nitrous.

If the specs of the oil were the only thing that mattered, then the UOA's from oils like Motul and Amsoil would put brands like Castrol and Pennzoil to shame. There is not enough data to know which brands will protect the VQ35VHR the best, but the highly acclaimed Motul did not provide as much protection on the VQ35DE as simple dino Castrol GTX. So, don't be so concerned about the base stock of the oil.

When high rpms are involved, friction becomes a critical factor. Drag increases exponentially with piston speed, so you're going to do some different things in a 16k rpm motorcycle or 14k rpm F1 engine than you are in a 7-8k rpm street car.
