oil / oil filter
 

I've seen Redline mentioned a lot, not so much AMSOIL, and hardly any talk of Mobile 1.

I've always used Mobile 1 in my car (Honda Civic), and most of the time in my truck (Ford Ranger, though I put whatever in it now) and always in my bike (Honda VTX1300 the 10-40 M4RT oil...).

I figured on using Mobile1 in my 370Z, but, having learned that it's a group IV, and not a group V (which from what I've read, Redline is) - should I consider switching?

Same deal with the filter. I've used pretty much whatever filter...typically on my bike, a Honda filter from a dealer (I know it'll work and they can't gripe about warranty, and I've heard rumors about K&N filters sometimes bypass when they aren't clogged), on the car, K&N, Mobile1, Wix - on my truck, whatever...currently K&N, but I've used Fram mostly...

Just looking for advice, not flames - thanks! :)

Enjoy!

Thanks!

I'm currently running Redline with K&N. I am def keeping the Redline but may give the WIX or the new Royal Purple filter a try.

AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters - Nanofiber Technology

Royal Purple State-of-the-art Oil Filter

Why not run the Amsoil (Best of both world, IV and V)?

I don't know anyone that sells Amsoil - given that someone has to sell it out of their garage, I think it'd kinda shady...

Redline I've heard a bit of, mosly when I worked for a performance auto-parts store (Lane Automotive in Michigan) - but outside of that, I've never used it.

Mobile-1 is easy to get, and until now, I thought was the best oil you could get, without going to racing oil - which, I guess is what Redline is...

370Z oil flow rate
 

What is the oil flow rate design for at idle and WOT for a 370Z? My stock 370Z did not come with a oil pressure gauge (only a oil temp gauge).

AMSOIL Ea Oil filters are a bit costly but really are top notch. The oil issue causes a lot of argument and I personally haven't been able to decide just yet.

need help...miles 1,450 taking a trip still have the first oil in the the car should i have it change before or after the trip, the time driving about 4 hours, my temp been right at 220 sity driving???

Change it, IMO...

I plan on dropping the OEM oil out at 1K, and using my oil of preference from then on.

I figure it's broken in quite well at that point. (most of it's done at the factory, from what I understand)

i changed mine to mobile 1 and use a royal purple filter. seems to work fine so far.

Changed mine again on Monday (3rd time, ~10,400 miles). First two times I used Castrol GTX but now I've gone to Mobil 1 and Nissan filter.

Not a big fan of Royal Purple oil, but AMS Oil and Mobil One are awesome oils, a couple of friends that I know that compete in Redline Time Attack run AMS Oil, Mobil One and Motul and never have problems, it performance incredibly. ENEOS Oils is also really good.

I am going to use Royal Purple oil and a purolator oil filter for my next oil change (4K miles, had 1st change done at 1K).

I bit the bullet and put the expensive factory ester oil in at 1200 miles until the is more solid experience with other oils. The issue some claim is "ticking" in the head if you don't use an ester based oil.

I personally wouldn't switch to full synthetic at least until 3000 miles.

Any reason why you don't like RP?

I'm thinking of RP or Redline.
