What did you do with your Z today

What temps are you seeing now for normal driving?

I'm using Agip synthetic in my Z and my temps are below 220 for normal driving(lower than original oil from Nissan).

I've found pretty much any good synthetic drops temps by 10-15 degrees vs the ester oil. I personally run GC, and the difference is awesome.

The heat properties of the Nissan oil are horrendous compared to pretty much any commercial available oil, and I highly recommend anyone still running it switches to the synthetic of their choosing immediately.

GC?

I have been running Redline (6 oil changes so far) and on the next one am going to try Eneos 5-30 full synthetic. It is about $6.30 per quart as opposed to $10.00 per quart for Redline.

That Eneos is supposed to be pretty damn good from what I hear. Even seen it boost hp in some cases

We'll see how good it is. It is hard to find.

I see 200-210 cruising on the highway, with ester I saw 215+. Under harder driver is where the notable difference was-- I clipped limp mode on the dragon with Ester oil, never got within 20* of it on GC with similar driving.

Thanks Red Zed. As soon as I clicked the post button I figured it out. Where do you get it? It is not very available around here.
