For those seeing high temps without coolers.
 

I just wanted to say I have Castrol EDGE and and K&N high performance air filters in my car now. Its taking 3x longer to heat up. Of course we aren't in 100's, but even by comparison of normal temps. Its taking longer to get to 240 degrees by nearly an hour. Just thought id chime in on that.

I saw similar, positive results with German castrol

Is that cooking oil?

can i use canola oil?

Rachel Ray recommends EVOO.

wat

Interesting. Can the oil brand really many much difference though?

Good point!!!

I found out I didn't drive my car off the lot with Nissan ester as I presumed. It was Mobil 1. I had this combination on my other car and it seemed the castrol did pretty well. I wasn't hitting limp mode without Castrol but I still saw around an 11-15 degree difference from the ester that was running in the 09.
IMHO though I know Mobil one runs well in csertain types of autos. (I swore by it in my Rx7), it doesn't seem to do all that great in my Z. In my G35 I used Castrol syntec and it seemed to do pretty well. But to me, it seems EDGE, truly has an edge over the outgoing syntec. I feel a noticeable performance increase. The 1st 500 miles didn't seem all that impressive on the Edge. Then all of a sudden the car felt more powerful and much smoother. The good part was temps drop after about 250 miles. So I'm extremely pleased with EDGE as a performance oil.

Yes

Are you using EDGE with Syntec or Titanium? Which ones better?

I have a question. What is a New Yorker doing in Texas?

I'm getting new tires and hoping that will lower my temps.:rolleyes:

Could it be related to your car now starting to break in, rather than oil brand?
