But what complicates things is that article explaining that the problem for this car isn't that the oil gets so hot that it starts to break down; the problem (according to the author) is that in an effort to be more 'green', Nissan changed the type of metal they use in their bearings, and the new metal is less durable under high heat. The claim is that even if your oil is okay at, say, 280 degrees, the bearings aren't -- they'll start to degrade. You guys know which article I'm referring to? The one by Mike Kojima?
