Message	I've put about 2k on my IPP motor and think it's about time. I've always been a Mobil1 10-30 type of guy but what's pushing me over the edge on the 0-40 is not only knowing that it's more suited for performance and turbo applications due to the higher heat resistance, but also the fact that the GTR uses this as their standard oil. I've also read some people on a Facebook 300ZX page using 20w-50. 1993 TT. R.I.P. 09.15.2010
