The heat properties of the Nissan oil are horrendous compared to pretty much any commercial available oil, and I highly recommend anyone still running it switches to the synthetic of their choosing immediately.
I need to keep up with acronyms lol. What's GC, red? And what temps are u seeing now?

It was HOT yesterday and every time I would come to a light, the AC would cut out. Then it started to rain. Not a good combo when it is almost 100 degrees out.

Then as we are waiting for a table, the lights in the restaurant started to dim. Never lost power but I was starting to wonder if someone was trying to tell me something about what I had planned.

This restaurant is special as it was the place of our first date. Well now it's even more special because she said yes!
Wow... Congrats dude! Very nice! I figured u would have asked her in the z itself

GC is german castrol. Their 0W-30 mix is full synthetic, made in germany. Far superior to the other castrol oils we can buy here.

I see 200-210 cruising on the highway, with ester I saw 215+. Under harder driver is where the notable difference was-- I clipped limp mode on the dragon with Ester oil, never got within 20* of it on GC with similar driving.
