All very nice ;) in my experience the d16a9 hates Mobil 1 new life 0w40 though,,


Mine used to burn the oil off very quickly and noticeable smoke out the exhaust. Drained it out and put Mobil 1 super s 10w40 in and all was ok again.


Love your 4th gen very much though and easily in my top 5 :)
D16a9 Powered dream machine!

No greater fun then backing off the throttle at 7400rpm and spraying fire out the exhaust ;)
