Z now chirps tires going to second gear
I switched from using Nissan Ester Oil to Pennzoil Ultra Synthetic. I noticed an immediate SOTP difference in the torque when in 1st gear. The car now chirps the wheels when going from 1st to 2nd gear. Never did that before....Never thought the Z ever could do that since it isn't really a torque monster by any stretch of the imagination.
I knew that Nissan Ester Oil lubrication capacity would have dampened the torque somewhat but I am surprised that the dampering was substatial enough to actually notice the difference when I switched to full synth. Switching to full synth must have given me back at least 5 to 7 ft-lbs of low-end TQ to be able to notice it that much and chirp to 2nd!.
