I was surprised!
 
I am not trying to start another oil debate....I was just surprised to see that our cars dont require synthetic oil. Although I AM planning on running M1 in mine. I read the owners manual and was surprised.

Ester oil is synthetic base oil that has been chemically synthesized

I was surprised you think you are not trying to start another debate by opening a new oil thread!


:D

Let me ask this, is running M1 gonna be ok? or do you guys have other recommendations? I guess a debate is unavoidable, and I apologize. I did a search on oil and got no results which was strange.

G37 forums have a ton of useful information:

Mobil 1 UOA - MyG37


21500 Mobil 1 UOA - Our VQ


They have a whole thread devoted to UOA's on the VQ37 as well.

I used this when the parts store was out of M1. I liked it and would use it again.

I use the cheapest stuff the local gas station has to offer! :ugh2:

bigrob126 02-01-2011 04:05 PM
Red line is great stuff but a little pricey, the platinum may be another option......much thanks!!! ;)
