It's high detergent, high zinc, less shear strength. I experienced some bearing wear at 8,000 on 2 diff motors running T6. With castrol I ran to 8,800 and no bearing wear. FYI.

<p>$19.99 a gallon at NAPA. Grab one of their NAPA Gold filters (Made by Wix)&nbsp;while you're there and you're good to go.</p>

Haha, perfect. Who did that?

I hope you bought the T6 in the blue bottle and not the T in the white bottle :giggle:

Though you can put the T in your 360FE. I used to use Delo 400 in all the heavy equipment I serviced working for the Boy Scouts, its good stuff too.

aidandj 07-02-2015 02:42 PM

Haha that is a very valid concern. Although I did get the blue bottle.

Leafy knows more about oil than I do, but there's something like shear strength (they use a different word) for oils, and castrol is much better that T6 in this regard. Thus why it worked better at keeping my bearings happy at high RPMs. It's basically how many PSI of pressure it takes to squeeze the oil out between the metals. Higher number is more protection. Castrol GTX is very good in this regard.

Lolol.
<br />
<br />I only rev to 7200 not worried.

aidandj 07-02-2015 03:07 PM

Also. Steve jobs came back to rule like never before.
<br />
<br />Rotella is 19.99 at auto zone (I think). But no quart bottles.

What window vents did you go with? I want these for sure. The Miata gets hot without carpet or a blower in the car.

concealer404 07-02-2015 05:19 PM

I use the white shit in the MX6. #YOLO.

And Delo 400, actually. Whichever is cheaper at the time. That's my cold weather oil. Summer gets some 20w-50.

aidandj 07-02-2015 05:50 PM

<p>I'm using some snapvents. If I were to do it again I would go with the advanced auto snap vents. Lexan, and really cheap. like 55 for 2.</p>

aidandj 07-02-2015 09:37 PM

<p>I may or may not have just started pouring precious rotella gold without putting the drain plug back in....</p>

deezums 07-02-2015 10:00 PM

10 second rule?

rleete 07-02-2015 10:00 PM

Crap. Newbie mistake, but been there, done that.
