I picked up an Infiniti Red Sport 400 with a 3.0 twin turbo V6. The manual recommends 0w20, but says, "as an alternative to the recommended 0w20, a conventional 5w30 may be used in its place..."
I'm in the midwest, for what it's worth. I was leaning towards picking up the best 0w20. Now, I realize 0w20's claim to fame is fuel economy, so I wanted to pick up one that can withstand a needs of a 400 horsepower twin turbo engine with concerns for high heat, LSPI, etc.
1) It may be splitting hairs, but what would you recommend versus Pennzoil Platinum or Mobil 1? I reference these as they are readily available and extremely affordable. Is one rated for higher heat? One at a slightly better viscosity for a turbo?
2) A fellow Red Sport owner had a UOA done on his oil after a 1,000 mile drain. Not sure if you can infer what Infiniti had in their engines as part of the factory fill. What would be closest to this oil? I'm assuming the high moly is traditional versus the trinuclear present in the Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Platinum.
