I was changing my oil myself with Mobile 1 extended and did not know about the ester oil... Well, the first cold day here in NY i drove two blocks gave the car some gas and the engine went.
My car also had a oil consumption issue 25 quarts of oil in 10 months. Something is up with these new G37 engines trust me, use the ester based oil.

I'd comment, but I'm out the door to hit up autozone for some synthetic blinker fluid.
