Up to 10K+ on the VQ you can see visible metal shavings upon every oil change hinting that the motor is still breaking in.
Just some food for thought,

I switched my HR now at 1000 miles to Penzoil Platinum. It now has 2100 miles and no issues. It will get changed at 3k of miles to Amsoil.

well, i can give something from my old specv..
it came with full syn from factory, I was spinning the tires leaving the dleaer lit and got my first race threw 3rd gear(ping redline each time) at 50miles. I NEVER lost to any spec with basic boltons or mod for mod. the spec was rated at running a 15.56 1/4. I ran a 15.001 my very first time at the track stock. After doing, I/H/E, motor mounts, and underdive pulley, I was running 14.2's, other specs from my group were still hitting 14.9s with same mods. And most were in the 15.8-16.0 range stock 1/4. I was also the only one who did a "hard" breakin.
i have been sold since that day on hard breakins.
FYI I never had any oil issues like other specs were known so well for. And the motor is still just being pulled after 92k miles in 4 years all hard driven. Its being pulled due to me and a turbo. Chipped piston while running too rich.
Just a post of a nissan exsperience...
