Like I said, I am here to learn. My path is argue a case for what you have concluded, and unless you can have clear convincing evidence that supports a different claim then keep with what you think. (People claim slammed cars are fun, but cannot tell me how they are fun besides fixing it constantly. Therefore without reasonable evidence I can conclude they are bozos). On another hand, I guess I would like to know possibly how my oil pressure seems to be...unreasonably high. For example, at 80C (176F), my gauge reads just under 5 bar (72 PSI) at 3k rpms. As we know the general rule of thumb is 10 PSI for every 1K rpms, some say 1 bar, but obviously this is a lot. I understand this is not at a full operating temp (too cold for my car to get there without pushing it constantly), but still it is high. As mentioned, 0W-20, about 4.5k miles on it currently, pressure taken from the sandwich plate.

I've been going down a serious oil rabbit hole.
Does anyone have any experience using synthetic diesel oil? Ie: Shell Rotella? Their Zinc concentration is really high, and it's $23/gallon vs. about 3x that for mobil 1 racing. I'm seriously considering it for my AMG being turbocharged and all.

I run basic off the shelf mobile 1 xe1 5w30 in the 86 seems to be fine after back to back UOA and some basic hpde type driving and street

Correct (same thing with Mustangs because it is cheap horsepower). The point I was trying to make is that you cannot just say one thing is bad without knowing the general cause.

I was using normal gear 300 in the transmission but swapped it out after reading a few threads here. Doing another swap this weekend and sticking with amsoil mtl and gear 300 ls for the diff. I really like the way the transmission feels with the mtl. Factory weights for everything

I've been a Motul fanboy for years. My 2004 WRX was autocrossed some 25+ events per year for 5+ years, plus daily driving. Motul served it well.
My 2017 BRZ had has been my autox car for 4 years now gets the same treatment, just a different viscosity for the engine oil. Gear oil in both is the Motul 300 75w-90. I can't say I love the Gear 300 in the BRZ transmission. It's not bad, but it's not super great either. I've run Motul so long it's a mental leap to try something different. Back in the day, like mid-2000's, you could get Motul at Subaru dealerships. They also did (and possibly still do) sponsor the Subaru rally teams. Lately I've been all of the board looking into API certifications, independent tests, etc on just brands of oil and you can really go down a rabbit hole with brands, additives, oil analysis, etc. That's just why I picked one and stuck with it.
