What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Bananaz · 03-17-2014, 12:12 PM

Off topic I'm sorry but I was just about to order the Redline 5w30 oil change kit again but I wanted to try Rotella t6 in this car. I've used it before and I like it, but I also like the Redline very much. Any reviews on the oil in a vq37?

My tuner recommended I switch from Redline to Rotella. Haven't put enough miles on the car to send out an analysis, so I can't tell you if there's any difference. It is nice that it's much cheaper and avaiable in stores. I've used it in a lot of other cars and it worked just fine.

Yeah I just pulled the trigger and bought some along with a bigger oil filter which I didn't do last time!

I have to reposition them and maybe I'll paint them black also.

My solution isn't nearly as pretty. Seems to work though.

Nah I don't run anything to yell the difference but I'm sure there is like a 10° diff. I think the OP of the DIY thread noticed 15° lower temps! Crazy

Sweet, I'll PM you the info on the BMW Club Autocross events for North Texas. Much more laid back and many more runs than the SCCA events.

Just finished installing my Stillen G3. Getting the Z tuned Friday.

Sacrificed my front bumper because some idiot was too busy smoking his e-cig to pay attention to me slowing down on the highway due to traffic coming to stop. Saw him just In time and was able to swerve the Z in the closed lane( I always keep 2 car lengths between me and the car in front when having too stop on the highway) and bounced a cone off the front right side of the bumper. More like destroy since the cone got ripped in half. The truck skidded to a stop where my Z was just 2 sec before. Would rather have a scuffed bumper then being rear ended like that. Been through that once and it was not fun.
