Good point bluesubie

Caterham Your statements have forced me to question my reasons for straying from an already excellent, readily available, higher VI motor oil. Why fix something that is obviously not even close to broken? The grass may not be greener in the other pasture. Thank you I'm wondering if the 08 Scion...

My '86 Mustang SVO gained 5 hp at 6000 rpm switching from the factory Ford Motorcraft fill to Mobil 1. The factory oil had 350 miles on it. Yes I dyno'ed a brand new engine that probably wasn't broken in. 3 pulls, drained then 3 pulls again. It can be done. My friends in Germany who are in...

Tada San said the Eneos Sustina was the right oil for this engine, I still have 2 cases of Eneos Sustina, but I'm curious how Millers got 6hp additional on the dyno over the factory oil, how?

This car is a DD, so far, the cars I received oil data from have seen track time. Yes data from ECU, using Ecutek. The engine doesn't detune anymore since the addition of the oil cooler. Watching an ECU cut power due to high oil temp on FA20 is a reality If the data is accurate then "esoteric"...

The number I received from my supplier

Similar equipped Toyota 86 oil temp data with 5w30 has shown higher oil temperatures than 0w20 in the few cars I communicate with. This was in autox use and one car at Road Atlanta Track day

Thanks for all the great advice, I'll investigate further. The oil cooler was just installed, this UOA sample is without an oil cooler. Oil temps haven't exceeded 224 since oil cooler install, typically 212 to 220.
