I'm running that now, I've only put about 150 miles on it, but it seemed to be very temperature tolerant. Was actually hard to get it up to ~180, heh.

Got home to find sway bars and intake waiting patiently for me on my deck.

Rep to FredBeanParts for amazing pricing and even more amazing shipping!

i actually noticed it gets up to temp faster than the ester oil does and it stays right at 200-220, havent been able to really push it past 220, im going to do a canyon run next week and really test this oil out but so far, i love mobil1's european oil

I'm running RedLine right now but was gonna try the 0w-40 M1. $65 oil change is getting old when the M1 could be had for half the price...But we'll see. Everyone I've heard from that uses it is very happy with it.

It's really high ZDDP, even compared to the Red Line. From all the EOR's I've seen, it seems like the perfect oil for this engine.

been running 0w40 for 3k miles. stays around 220 with spirited street driving in SD but definitely gets overheated doing mountain runs. I just need an oil cooler... oil looks so much cleaner than ester oil after 5k

bought two big 5 quarts from walmart recently :P win

Car doesn't run hotter with M1 vs (Nissan?) ester oil?
Because my car ran a LOT hotter with M1

Getting the drivers door retinted. There was a small piece of debris stuck between the tint and window causing a dot right in the middle of the window. For anyone in chicago, I highly recommend Umbra. Nino is redoing it now, no questions asked.

Sucks that you have the issue but good that they're taking care of it.

I have to take my Juke back to get the drivers door redone. Hopefully I can get lucky with some good service too.

Yeah, its always my luck that stuff like this happens to me. Just glad to deal with good customer service for once.

Good luck with your Juke, what was the issue with yours?

I have 3 bubbles near the rear edge of the drivers window. They are the size of an eraser on the end of a pencil.
