brainrain liked post by rclarkbow On thread : Gallery Gaskets on my 2012

I've been reading a lot about the gallery gaskets failing and causing low oil pressure, which could potentially lead to engine failure. My 2012 370Z was manufactured in 12/2011 and I'm not sure...

If you want to learn about oil in depth, go to bob is the oil guy. You can spend hours there looking at UOAs and VOAs of all the brand of oils and their viscosity. Talking about oil is mental...

Sheesh! Just use a high-quality oil with Nissan's specs for viz. Once you get up to operating temp, the difference in viz is negligible - the higher the temp the less the difference. The ECM will go...

brainrain liked post by Jhill On thread : Using 5W-40 on Z's with no oil cooler

If I could remember where I saw the testing I’d post it but they found the thick oil actually increased engine temps which makes a lot of sense as the pump has to work harder more pressure through...

brainrain liked post by ZoomZ On thread : Using 5W-40 on Z's with no oil cooler

Driving at a constant 160-170kph is actually beneficial. Should be good oil circulation and airflow. It's the stop and go or hill climbs and track style that will affect your temp. and oil. From...

brainrain liked post by FL 4Motion On thread : Using 5W-40 on Z's with no oil cooler

Why not just add an oil cooler, run factory rec 5w30 and not have to worry about excessive heat issues? Wife and I only ran M1 0w40 bc it was more track car than daily driver. If you’re not...

Going to W40 will not solve heat issue. Need oil cooler. W40 will just remain more viscous over 30 for a bit longer until it gets too hot and breaks down as well. I know it can get hot in the...

Exactly. I run a 19 Row out here in Toronto, it handles traffic, spirited driving coupled with hot weather just fine. I do not track hence the choice.

Turbo guys too. My engine builder recommended 5w50 or 15w50. I run 5w50.

How many auto engine engineers work at the dealership? As the chart above shows, once the temp gets over 100C or so, the difference in viscosity is very little and which viz you use is not that...
