being a lighter weight oil, it also cools down faster, and is able to maintain its composure under extreme heat/stress conditions.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

Your statement clearly shows you've done no research on the "Nissan Ester Oil", and that you have no working knowledge of how valves work.

Stop spewing marketing statements.

One of the purposes of oil is to clean. It's main purpose may be to lubricate, but also serves to clean and cool.

2. larger particles trapped in the oil filter decrease oil pressure. it will then starts to bottle neck the oil pressure as oil fights to enter & exit the oil filter.
3. YES the largest particles fall to the bottom, but will and could be moved and sucked back up into the oil pump causing a clog. the oil pressure system isnt a trickle effect. its a vacuum.

and please try and explain how our vvel is the same as all other camshaft systems. id love to hear this. its so complex dealers dont even service it.
1. Then why does your oil turn black after running for even a short time? It's catching particulate matter.
2. you must be using some really ****tyass oilfilter then.
3. I know how oil sumps work.

VVEL performs the function of a cam. It pushes the valve open. Oil lubricates and cools the VVEL system (extremely watered down explanation). You're barking at the wrong tree buddy.

Friction modifier. Yes, the Ester additive is a friction modifier. Nissan's patent application was turned down because it is nothing new.

Please explain to me why every customer that comes in with VVEL issues is using a cheap oil without friction modifiers.

Also, as oil breaks down it normally turns a darker color

The oil I use does not break down. Care to place a wager? How about your 06 CBR for my 05 F4i?

I will provide conclusive evidence that my oil doesn't break down under any normal operating condition, no matter which end of the extreme it is on.

It still turns black.


Is your precious amsoil breaking down? Must not be worth all that hype.

I do extended OCI, and I drive my cars under far harsher conditions than you likely do. It still does not break down.

Like I said, you're really barking at the wrong tree.

listen, i realized your an anti-amsoil gear head that has it in for amsoil because on many occasions it has beat out mobile1's BS slogan.
im not going to get into an oil argument on here WHEN THIS IS A TOPIC ABOUT YOUR BREAK-IN IDEA'S.
you cant prove to a single person, that your oil does not break down.
if someone developed an oil that never broke down, you would never have to change your oil, and only change your filter out intermittently. so thanks for the convo's but its done here.

PM me for empirical evidence.

You still have to change your oil because the buffer/base in your oil will eventually be unable to buffer/neutralize the acidic particulate that is a result of hydrocarbon combustion.

Go take some basic chemistry, and we'll have a discussion about oil.

EVERY OIL BREAKS DOWN. FROM THE MOMENT IT IS USED, IT IS NOT THE SAME OIL AS IT WAS BRAND NEW.
EVERY OIL BREAKS DOWN. SOME SOONER THEN OTHERS. BUT YOUR STATEMENT THAT YOUR OIL DOESNT BREAK DOWN, IS FALSE AND COMPLETE BS.

AGAIN, YOU CAN DO OIL ANALYSIS ON AN AN OCI OF 5,000MILES, ON A 7,500-15,000mile OIL AND YES IT WILL NOT BE BROKEN DOWN COMPLETELY, BUT IT SURE WILL BE HALF WAY THERE.

Oil is related to break in period. You recommended going to synthetic oil changes after the break in period.
No tapping out to strikes now Tito Ortiz.
