Marc's recommendation 10w-40 for increased film strength.

Paul, if I lived anywhere near Haibeck Automotive I'd probably hang around the shop all day long, just to gain ZR-1 knowledge.

Yeah, one always learns new stuff with a visit to "The Specialist". Just a few minutes more to the east, and Pete's shop is there. Or a few minutes west, and Dominic can be found fussing with his dataloggin, and Bob Gillig just a few minutes away....

Yep! This is ZR-1 country. We're not called the "FBI" for nothing! Some of the very best meet here for pizza several times a year! It's an honor to live here in such a concentration of talent!

Jealous lol!!! But that is one of the reasons I bought my Z, was the incredible community of people.....I'm going to have to drive up for a pizza night this summer.

Yup, that’s the one (and only) thing about Chicago I miss. Great bunch of people and great pizza! Ok, two things...

I was trying to do a lot of research myself being a "new" Z guy... I read the discussions and articles on the "Mobil 1 High Mileage" having higher ZDDP, however when I went to the Mobil data site, it's showing the same as the other regular 10w30... I'm wondering if they've pulled the higher ZDDP out of the "High Mileage" as well.

The date on this document is March 2017.

Oh great! I just switched to it.
However, I am noticing an appreciable reduction in oil consumption.
