questions about E15ET + oil

What oil would be best for E15ET?

Can I somehow increase the oil pressure?

i found the oil pressure to be very good (not to say quite high) with my engine ... the oem pump on those engine are the one sold in the older nismo catalog stating hi-performance unit... i use 5w30 all the time and get almost 70psi on cold start @ 1200 rpm... if you want more pressure out of it . you can shim the spring that regulates the oil pressure just by unscrewing adding the shim and put it back.. wich i dont think youll need... pressure on hot engine is pretty good too... 60psi @ 4000rpm and around 15-20psi on idle (650rpm)

last time i used higher grade oil was 20w50 thinking it would only do good and the oil just broke the seal of the pump giving me quite a mess in the parking .. too high is not better, good flow is the key.. get some nice synthetic oil

Thanks for the info

Is there any differences between the manufacturer of the oil?

Sure is.

Trying searching this forum using phrases like "synthetic," "motor oil" as well as the various manufacturer's names. This topic comes up frequently and there is a lot of good discussion here.

Oh, pressure is resistance to flow. Don't think that all increases to your oil pressure are a good thing. You may be starving parts of your engine ... especially at high RPMs.

OK, maybe I just leave the oil pressure to normal
