Which of these two oils would BOTIG`ers consider better? Especially if you like to drive fast and hard. Reason I ask,is I was at the Nissan dealer yesterday and the service manager there,who drives a 300ZX twin turbo (which is nearing the 400k mark) has used GTX 20W50 the life of the car. Original turbos and no engine work has ever been done. He said he drives it very had,the way it was meant to be driven,80 miles a day back and fourth to work.
I`m currently using the VR1 20W50 oil and out of all the oils I`ve used,it gives my car the smoothest and quietest engine response. Rear tires break loose on every 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd shift if I give it the least bit of throttle. I`ve never used GTX in this car and wondered how it would fare against the VR1. I used M1 15W50 for a long time and my car runs much smoother and quieter with the VR1. Engine seemed sort`ve "loud and metallic (best way I can describe it)" on hard throttle runs with the M1 compared to the VR1.
Anyway,I was just curious what all of you thought about the GTX 20W50?
