Why is that way, way too thin? i did that with my scion and im in the tropics. i had no issue with that car, then again it was a completely different car. this is my first z so im still trying to learn everything all over again. i'm asking so i know why cuz idk. Is it cuz the oil will run too thin? Just rememberd, makes sence to not go that thin cuz the car has a high oil temp issue and combining that with tropic temps.... it would be WAY to thin when it gets warmed up. am i on the right track? thank you
