10w-50 in a Z?

right has anyone run a Z on 10w-50 oil before?

 

my whole cars been stripped back, new gaskets turbos, feeds and various other mods, ( its not finished yet as have run out of funds to get the last few bits, )

 

have been offered some Silkolene pro s 10w50 at £36 for 5litres oil on a group buy with my other club and wondering how the Z would cope with it.

    Apparently Tesco is selling off their old stock of Mobil1 0w 40 for £16 for 5 litres.

     

    Would that be any good?

    Morrisons are selling Castrol 0-30 for £9.49 a litre

     

    Noooo! a "30" grade is too thin for a ZX when the engine it warm. That's more like the grade needed for more modern engines with less wear and tighter mechanical tollerance! Nothing less than a "40" hot grade for a ZX - 0w40; 5w40 or 10w40 is within Nissan recommendations......

    Yes it will be just fine - especially on a TT with some engine modifications!
