proven fact, can't gain hp off of change in oil brand. Your obd-II system is designed to calibrate between a certain range due to advance timing climate conditions, elevation changes, I can completely agree with red zed!

Unless your changing your oil when it starts looking like tar, it will be difficult to see any measurable gain, especially against Nissan's Ester based oil that came with it.

From what I understand, Nissan's "ester" blend wasn't in this car when it arrived, was it?
