On the other hand.... you may crater that valve-train.

Never Cratered a valve train let alone know what that even means (lol) and I don't think I want to find out, well then 5w30 it is then but which though since I've always been a RP believer but I'm open to try any other oil that's why I asked between mobil 1 or Castrol edge

My question is perfomance difference since I've used 10w30 and my oil temps on 80 degree weather (mornings) goes just up to about 180and during afternoon its about 200-210 if I spirit drive highest tops it goes 220 due to my 34R cooler. Also how many qts of 0w40 do I put since I got the 34R? When I installed it(previous oil change prior to this one) I put the OEM amount which was 5qts and 1/4.

Since you live in TX, I would go 5-10 as first choice, than 0-40 & 10-30 as last. I would never use 10-30 in colder states or winter because Z's are new modern cars & starting them with heavy "10"-30 oil is not the best idea.

Would that be considered "spam"?

Just kidding.

It should be the default response to an oil thread. Those guys are sharp.
