Not another oil/filter thread...

[2sl0w]

So I have run a few oils in the z. The previous owner ran redline 5w-30 so I tried that first. I had no complaints other than it was pricey and seemed to darken quickly at around 3000 miles. I switched to Mobil 1 0w-40. The vvel sounds just as quiet as it did with redline and the oil temps were similar to redline (220max w/cooler) but it burned about a quart every 1000 miles. After 3 changes I got tired of constantly buying oil and decided to switch to what I ran in my 350z. Shell rotella t6 5w-40. This oil takes a bit longer to warm up and the vvel tick is louder when cold but once it warms up it is as quiet as the previous 2. Max temp is very similar but it seems the temp spikes faster. The plus side is I am at 3000k miles and it only burned about a 1/3 of a quart. I am impressed so far and I will update this with my impressions once the summer months come and see how it deals with this Atlanta heat.

As far as filters I run the mobil 1 m-108. The m-110 does not fit with my thermostatic plate. But I am currently using a Bosch d+ from a recommendation on bitog and a nice amazon rebate.
