I was not refering to your issue, 3S (3000GT, Stealth)engines are known for low oil pressure, and spun bearings are commonplace. My 3S had over 100K on it when I got it, but then I started punishing it at the track, and the Red Line so far has kept the bottom end from falling apart whereas others running lesser oils have had a number of failures. Maybe I'm just lucky and got a good one, but I'd prefer to think my initial gunking of the oil system , and multi-flush and then Red Line usage before pushing it have helped stave off what appears to be inevitable with those engines.

Red line is good stuff I guess is my bottom line, and their customer/tech support is second to none.
