another useless oil thread

[mistertears]

op, I commute 74 miles a day on weekdays to work in my 09 Z; I don't race on the weekends. I haven't had any oil issues thus far and run a PL14610 filter and 0w-40 mobil 1 full synthetic; the engine warms up smoother and faster than with 5w-30, while oil temps remain below 220 unless with spirited driving in the summer. However, I took a 1.5mpg hit when changing to 0w-40. I change oil and filter every 6-7k. Hope that helps.

The longer on(1010) you may have problems fitting the 1008 will function and fit great, I also drive hard in a closed are every other week or so and run redline 5-30 W/ K&N 1008

If you will be replacing oil early then you can save a dollar or two and use a smaller 1008

by using a 1010 you will reduce your oil pressure by a fractional amount by increasing the volume it can hold, however this amount is insignificant
