Oh dear This is the worst advice I've ever heard. You should run synthetic from day one.

Not worse advice...if you go synthetic in the beginning. Your oil seals might leak. Due to the fact that sythetic oil is thinner than OEM oil. And the seals should be worn in with the OEM motor oil before adding synthetic to the car. You can do what you like. Just giving some advice to the ones that want to hear it.

Something is not right with Mobil 1 5W30 and the VQ35, my oil consumption was worse... 3.5qts @ 3500 miles... my fault since I drive hard and not check the oil as frequently. Not a drop lost so far with Redline 10W30.

sorry buddy, but ur wrong. its recommended not to run synthetic until driven a few thousand miles or 2 regular/non-sythetic oil changes. something with the motor seals before break-in.
