ummm, have you seen the oil analysis samples on my350z?

Mobil1 0w40 performed great, but the Motul oils did not fair so well at all, with indication of engine wear compared to less expensive, more readily available oils. Also the RP has performed like crap on the VQ engines according to oil analysis that have been submitted and posted.

I suggest you do your research before posting inaccurate and misleading information:
