It works okay I guess.
I just want to say one last thing. I'm not saying Mobil1 is overall a bad oil. I'm not liking the overall performance of that oil in this particular application with the Z. Being in tx, if the oil can't keep my car cool enough I won't use it or recommend it. Me being in 100+ degree weather, it doesn't hold up to snuff. I get 11 to 15 degrees cooler temps on other brands. But I also drive pretty hard. I just feel if it doesn't handle extremes well (in the Z) under harsh conditions why use it?
The vette probably has way better transmission and oil cooling systems than the Z. The vette ALSO doesn't rev as high. If the Z was a cooler running car and didn't rev as high as it does I'm sure mobil 1 would do better. But it doesn't so it isn't. Lol.
In the end mobil1 is not good due to the Z not being engineered as well in the cooling dept. But the Z's flaw has exposed some of this oils weakness and other oils strength.
