Oil temps, and the way it looks, are not indicative of the way an oil is performing. The data I am talking about has come from real users (like yourself) that have sent their used oil in for analysis.

And, you're right, I have never used it (really for the reasons I mention in my other post). I currently run Redline fluids, but not because I think it is strictly the best oil (lab analysis is decent on the Redline oil I use, but not the best). I use it because it has proven to be good for extended change intervals, and I like the Ester additives (I have only been doing about 3000 miles every 6-9 months). They also make a MT fluid specifically for our manual transmissions which is a big improvement over the Nissan fluid.
