Second Oil Analysis by Blackstone (with Nissan Ester)
 

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...5308b1ae6b.jpg

This is my second time that I upload the report for Blackstone's oil analysis on my Z (2010 Sports).

1. feel so good that I made good choice to go by the Ester.
2. more trust to Nissan I got to have !!
3. really still runs like a new hitting almost 100K miles !!
4. Oil change interval 4K must be better than 5K.

Anyway thanks A LOT for recent low gas prices compared to the previous years in here California. :D

Nissan Ester Oil is legit shít

Only thing I use.

^^ Same here. My baby gets her 5th oil change here in February. ;)

Wow 100k miles on raced vq nice, am looking forward enjoying this car for a long time

I believe Redline use Ester type of oil too.??

So you use OEM Nissan ester oil?

Not quite, it has a Ester base DONT quote me though :eekdance:

David I think your right its Ester based. Which is the right term for it.

What's the difference between ester based oil and Nissan ester oil? Or would the Nissan oil be considered "ester based" as well... Semantics?

Easter was designed to keep the vvel noise down, u can use any oil u like, except the cheapest one as long as its the right weight. 5w-30 vq37vhr.

Yes . almost always at the dealership.

maybe 3 times around till now by Mobil1 Synthetic.

Nissan Ester oil is recommended in the 370Z user's manual by Nissan.

Nissan's Ester oil has about 3 times as much Mo (Molybdenum), which is a metal to metal lubricant, as any other motor oil

Nissan ester oil contains a 'magic' ingredient. Diamonds iirc. Used to keep bearing surfaces polished thereby reducing friction. It's was discussed here a few years back. Take a look here:

I just got the second oil change (Nissan ester oil) on my 2014 Z at 3000 miles (every six months) the other day. Total bill, including oil at $12.00 a quart (5), and filter, was $75.00. Got a few dollars off with an on-line dealer coupon.

Frequent maintenance is key to getting the most out of any car. Thanks for sharing your results!

Thank you for sharing, that's all use, $100 at Nissan, I change it every 3k miles which lately is roughly every 3 months

I don't like your Silicon levels. What air intake/filters are you using? I would like to see that
a little lower.

I did my best that my service advisor said it's my best maintenance. Thanks.

every 4-5k I get my maintenance only at the dealorship and change any part if necessary without delay. that multipoint inspection doesn't say the air intake/filter to be a new.

So you still have the stock intake and air filter setup? I would change filters and look for any loose breather hose connections after the air filter box. Your Silicon levels are not way out of whack, just a little higher than the average that looks like a 19 from your report.

Well.. you know I'm not that an auto expert. I just do my best by the result of Nissan maintenance sheet.

How many miles on your car? Standard Nissan Maintenance would change the air filters at 15,000 miles. If you are in the <10,000 mile range your issue may just be due to break in/assembly and the levels will drop further.

Now hitting around 100K.

:D

if then, I must have changed it - why not ??

LOL, I guess I forgot what I read yesterday... Yes, you would have changed
both air filters several times.

I have sent oils sample's to Black Stone laboratories several times with
the same positive results....

I am at 72,000 miles and Ester Oil is changed every 3000 miles.:iagree:

Black Stone Laboratories link affixed...:tup:


Blackstone Labs

:iagree:

it is ok man that it's absolutely better that you forget your age that must have been decided decades years ago :D

just kidding never mind :D

ask you a question.

if you think it's legit **** then what's your point you keep using it ?

Ooopsie. I used 0-40W last time.

Can you run oil with ZDDP (Such as VR-1) in modern cars?

Just wondering. I use it in my old car with flat tappets.

ZDDP may stop up the cats, if you have them.

You'll be fine.

And I a possibility of it happening again ;-)

Why? What are you hoping to accomplish running that weight?

Not much. I'm old skool thicker weight in the tropics is good ;-)

The 40 part makes sense. That's what my tuner recommends. I was more curious about the 0 part.

Zero schmeero. No problems. We all know the 40w sheer of the mobile 1 is good , meaning like 30w.

This is why I run redline, can't beat the Mo! Zinc and Phos are your other wear metals you want! The 99 Mo is mobil 1.

And as far as I know redline and Motul use the best stock, Polyol-ester.
