I couldn't drive hard for long on the oil Nissan provided but when I switched I saw an increase in prolonged lower oil temps and cool down moderate when resuming normal driving. This is just my experience though. Just some things you will never know until you try it yourself. RP 4 LIFE LOL
If you're happy, I guess that's all that matters. I prefer real data over someone's .02 cents, but that's just me. Have you had an oil analysis done with the RP on your car? If not, I would recommend doing so. There is no real way to know how an oil performs unless you have it analyzed by a lab (like Blackstone). Oil temps, and the way it looks, are not indicative of the way an oil is performing. The data I am talking about has come from real users (like yourself) that have sent their used oil in for analysis.

And, you're right, I have never used it (really for the reasons I mention in my other post). I currently run Redline fluids, but not because I think it is strictly the best oil (lab analysis is decent on the Redline oil I use, but not the best). I use it because it has proven to be good for extended change intervals, and I like the Ester additives (I have only been doing about 3000 miles every 6-9 months). They also make a MT fluid specifically for our manual transmissions which is a big improvement over the Nissan fluid.
