Message	I use 20-50 Castrol oil without fail in any of my cars including my Z's with over 100k miles..I know what the vehicle calls for and I know some of you will think its too thick. I have always been told and throughout my vast car experiences, I know that using a thicker oil on cars with over 100k miles allows for better tolerances and clearances which have signs of wear... Bottom end of the motor was/is in awesome shape from what I remember ASH? :) Everyone thinks they have the miracle recipe for longevity and it ends up "not soo much." Hence why I guess sticking with the stock block is the way I will go. Well with the exception of forged pistons.. :) [img border=0 src="http://www.members.aol.com/eriksu9/images/1badz.jpg">****472 RWHP/461 TORQUE ON 110 RACE GAS @21 PSI ****438 RWHP ON 93 OCTANE PUMP GAS/STOCK MOTOR**** ****429 FT LBS/TQ******************************* Also own: 2001 Harley Davidson Custom Softail Deuce 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8 AWD 1993 300ZX 2+2 NA 1991 Yamaha YZ250 1985 Ford Bronco 3" lift, 35" Tires Sold: 1986 Yamaha FJ1100 1987 Nissan 300zx na(Z31) 1979 280ZX 2+2 1972 MGB 1968 Pontiac Firebird 1972 Nissan 240Z, dual webber carbs, etc
