How many of you are running oil coolers?



I find what you say to be really interesting, and the advice you got, do you know any of the reasoning behind that advice from the Nissan/Infinity techs?

Personally I'm OCD about changing my oil 3,000 miles or before, and usually check it everytime I need gas, and never once have I found any less oil on the dip stick. I use nothing but Royal Purple, and synthetic Valvoline oil in all my cars, and so far only Royal Purple in my DD 09 Nismo, but thinking about trying Redline out. I never have had one oil burning issue even racing in super hot weather. I'm also running a 34 row oil cooler.
The only thing weird I've learned about the oil I use is never put royal purple in a subaru, cause it jells up in the heads.




I my opinion Mobil1 is **** oil cross the board. I know some guy swear by it. I ran it twice to try it out. Once in my 240SX, and once in my Titan, and changed the oil out on both even before I hit 1,500 miles. I got worse gas mileage on both, and my VK56DE made valve train noise at higher rpms.

i got the same performance, mileage, and engine noise the first 15k miles when i used RedLine ester based oil. maybe if i tracked the car alot or ran it like hell everyday id go back to my $90 ester oil changes. but i dont, nor is my sh1t oil doing any harm now.

i even ran the sh1t mobil1 oil in my IS300 for 7 years. that engine was 10x smoother than our VQ and the mobil1 ran great in it. (but thats just my opinion.)
