I then realized that i needed a power steering change since we havnt had one since i think 30K miles (now have 85K). So i called my nissan mechanic, i can take my car there and he does a little under the table work on my car (cost me $30 for full powersteering flush, condition, and refill). Anyways, i told him i was using royal purple this time and forgot to buy a mobil 1 filter so he gave me a OEM nissan filter, which actually looks the same as the mobil 1. We lifted the car on the lift drained the oil and replaced the filter and the oil. After i left $40.00 later 
the car is running SOOOOO much smooth than with the mobil 1.

If you noticed all your readings progressively had lower readings. So your engine was just getting broken in as the mileage increased. You started with mobil 1 so i would run mobile run for a few more oil changes and see if you get the same results as the original times you used it. I bet youll get lower readings. If not i stand corrected but to truely make a statment you need to test the mobil 1 again.

I agree that it can be seen as a downgrade that it's not made from a group IV base stock or whatever but at the same time if they are warranting the product the same, I can't see it hurting it's performance or durability too much. I worked as an intern at ExxonMobil where they formulated and tested the supersyn formula and I'm sure they did plenty of testing before they made the switch. They have cars there that just run 24/7 with Mobil1 (when I was there in 02, they had a bmw with over 1 million miles on it that they changed every 25K)
If you race your car or have it turbo-ed or supercharged, then maybe I can see switching, but I'm probably going to stick with it for now. At least until some real negatives are discovered from actual use of the new formula.
