Richard :smw:

would a 15w oil be considered too thick for a tt or in theory a 10w be better, ( better as in being more reliable etc and doing a better job of lubrication )

I put in a bit of a google search and found a site that gives you a run down on the different types of oil. I think there is an equalibrium thats got to be taken into consideration with the 300zx as I know it. The performance of the oil when cold is obviously important and the thinner it is at cold the better as it will lubricate sooner but as these cars (especially the TT's) run quite hot then the second factor comes into play where as you dont want the oils film to tear or break down at high temps. It would therefore seem that a 10W-50 is the best option as this has thin qualities when cold to almost instantly lube and is strong enough yet still thin enough to cope when hot? This is the conclusion I have made from what I read. It might be prooved to be a load of b'lox as I am no expert?
