My go to oil: Rotella T6 5w-40
I have a Nissan 350Z with the VQ35HR engine. My cousin is a mater mechanic at Nissan and was talking to him the other day about oil. According to him my car is supposed to use their Nissan ester oil because of some fancy logic I'm not 100% sold on.
I tried finding an ester oil but all I could really find were race oils and I have read they aren't great for regular street driving. My car is 90% street use and 10% track use.
What are the differences between these ester "race oils" and my old school Rotella T6?
On top of that is there a better oil than the Rotella T6? Maybe a Motul X-cess oil?
Thank you for your time
