There are plenty of people running gear oil to get maximum lubrication. Something like an 80w-250 will ensure your engine will get to 1,000,000 miles.

If you're running an N20 with a tune, downpipe, etc. you should consider this.
Are you being serious here?

Someone might actually look this post up and do this.. no bueno!

LL04 is the standard here in Europe, since I donīt know how long before the F30 came.
