Here we go again with Nissan oil being mysteriously superior to other products. The Redline oils that we're using to replace the OEM oil have the same viscocity ratings as the stock crap. Fluids with the same viscocity have the same resistance to flow/shear aka 'thickness'.

Finally, how is the 18 year old Nissan technician going to know that the black sludge coming from my rear diff is Redline or Nissan OEM oil? No way will they be able to tell the difference.
