You need to get the TBN. You own an Infinity, you can afford it.

This oil is what the 370Z guy needs to run.
That's one of the best VQ reports I have seen. Get the TBN next time, you can probably run it farther. And stick with this oil year-round.

Why do you say an interesting HM oil. Because it is a little thicker and a HM engine may have loosened up a bit?

It's not a very viscous 40wt, very low volatility. One of the best anti-wear packages in the world. Good candidate as a HM oil.

With the 0W-40 having a higher ZDDP content, is it still ok to run this oil in a vehicle with catalytic converters?
I believe that is why most oils, other than the Mobil-1 0W-40 European Formula, have very little to no ZDDP in them due to the possible issues they cause with the convertors?

They ALL have ZDDP in them, and it isn't "little to none", but rather just reduced from what it was years ago.

But is it not a fact that Mobil-1 0W-40 European Formula has the highest amount ZDDP in it?
If so, I assume it is still not at a level that would cause issues??
Just asking.

40-weight oils aren't subject to the same limits as the energy conserving 20 and 30 weight oils for starters, but yes, it has higher levels of ZDDP as well as other additives than traditional PCMO's, but really not much if any higher than other oils that meet the same or similar spec's as it, such as PU 5w40, GC 0w30....etc.
It won't cause issue with catalytic converters.

No, not even close. Check out some Redline sometime, ZDDP numbers usually 1200-1500 ppm.
If you really want to see some astronomical ZDDP, check out some of the racing oils that have been posted in the virgin oil analysis section.

Various ones.
In order from oldest to newest:
Dealer dino
M1 5W30
M1 0W30
Motul 300V 5W40
M1 0W40
M1 0W40
I had short OCI depending on driving conditions namely track days. I usually run new oil for each day or if the oil temp spikes.

The interesting thing about the Mobil 1 0w40 right now is that it's still using the high calcium/boron and moly where as all other Mobil 1 oils, including EP, are now low SAP and using much less metallic adds.
If you can get M1 0w40 at WM for $6.47, you are getting the best oil for the money you can buy IMO>

5W50 is still using the old philosophy, another OEM spec oil.
