I had Mobil 1 in since I've had the car and only switched to RP for the 15-40w value which my manual recommended. Nonetheless, I have been quite pleased with RP. I don't recall any significant (if any) improvements other than the car seems to idle and run a tad smoother. Quite possibly a psychological reaction. I was curious as to the normal oil temp and I di think 200 was about right. My concern is bad boosting in hot weather. 97 today. I have heard of the relays that turn on the a/c fan to cool the intercooler but that seems a bit iffy at best. A bigger fan or moving the cooler to the front seems better. I have also toyed with wrapping the manifold/downpipe to aleviate some of the under hood temps. Or driving more at night.
