Superchargers must be good for VQ30's
My latest oil report since I installed my supercharger has improved. How's that for counterintuitive. The only major difference was the pre-S/C test was done on oil used through the winter, so at worst case, the winter is harder on the car than the S/C is. ![Big Grin](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
OK, it's a leap, but I found it humorous.

I've been running the 5-30 Mobile one for quite some time, and always have used Nissan filters. I think 5-30 is fine year round, especially where I live where it rarely gets into the 90's.
Blues,
Yeah, that's what I'm interested in too. between the winter cold and intermittent use, I was concerned that was taking it's toll on the engine, and may just be better off storing it. I'll continue with similar usage this winter and see what I get. I was especially surprised by the 4.5 TBN with 5,000mi and lots of track use this summer.
