RE: 3000GT Vs. EVO VIII
91,92 motors had a bearing issue also.......lots of spun bearings
I think this has alot to do with the fact that most of the owners fill their engines with the wrong viscosity oil. If you poll every VR4 owner, most use 5-30 or 10-30. That is much too thin IMHO. After a couple thousand miles, the oil will break down and become even thinner- providing less protection. ... but that's a whole new thread topic at this point.
The owners manual clearly states that you SHOULD (not may use) use 20-50 in severe conditions. What dictates severe usage? It doesn't really matter to me... When it comes to providing the most protection for your engine, i'll always use the thickest oil suggested by the manufacturer. I'm sure racing an EVO constitutes as severe duty [:@].
