Yes I meant change from OEM oil. I'll be contacting Nissan to check this out and will get back with a definite answer.

If temps don't drop a bit from redline + k&n filter I'm going to check all pumps and hoses as well as the temp sensor. Next thing would be going with a Z1 or stillen cooler.
Thanks for the help guys!

I had no issues running another brand, provided it meets their spec you are fine

You won't notice temp differences with a different brand oil being that it is the same weight oil. If you drop to 0-40 you should notice a slight difference. Best bet is to get a z1 kit with the thermo adapter. Go with the smaller core size. I have a 34 row and put a full plate on mine with 1/4 in drilled holes and finally have a even temp line of 180-195 highway driving. Just a fyi.
