Message	I've sent samples into our local Z club member's oil lab (it's pretty impressive) to see what was happening after 5000-6000 km (3000-3500 mi). Viscosity breakdown is happening pretty quickly, even with full synthetic Mobil 1. I daily drive the Z and autoX in summer, but the analysis of the oil at that mileage reinforces the 'change sooner than later' adage. Oil's cheap, the wear components aren't. Regards, My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
