Ross, you do not possess a jap turbo car, they require quite different oils to Italian cars.

I see. I should have known. Jap cars will use oil which is the same as every one else but costs 3x as much just cause it is Jap

ion the short term aye prob won't do any damage but prolonged use would have, it would have started to corrode your seals.
