  1.  

    I pulled my intercooler to change the starter and there was some thick sticky oil residue in the intercooler.  No metal flakes or anything like that but it still concerned me so I pulled the downpipe to check the shaft play on the turbo and there was no sign that the blades were contacting the housing and shaft did not seem too loose although I'm not sure what is too loose.  No smoke when running, no measurable loss of oil.  It's an 09 auto that I bought from the original owner two years ago with just 55k miles then and 86k miles now.  All stock and good maintenance records, oil changes 3500 miles.

     

    Should I be concerned that my turbo may be going?  Is some oil past the turbo oil seals normal?  

     

  2. I’m running motul gear 300 and it’s not great when it’s cold (45 and below). I’ve also noticed more noise from the trans. Keep in mind my trans has 172k on it which could be the major contributing factor so YMMV

     

    I was also unhappy with the cold weather (below 50F) performance of Motul in the transmission of my 370z. I switched back to Redline MT90. I really liked the Amsoil when I ran it in my Mazdaspeed6 years ago but it's hard/expensive for me to get.
