[hippy]

my mechanic put some "castrol gtxt" oil in my engine ... i was wondering if it was any good and how much it actually cost in the shop??

[Bleach1]

its good for mineral oil. its about $25 - $30 for 5L.

If you can get it i would recommend Motul.

yeah i know mutol is good .. but this is what he puts in all his skylines and supras or whatever he is going ... he does alot of skylines as he is also a compliancer for a well known adelaide import shop!

Isn't GTXT one grade below GTX2/GTX3? Personally I would run semi or full synthetic in my Skyline (actually, this is what I do ), especially with that hot turbo slowly cooking your oil between changes.

If you have to run mineral oil then definitely change it every 5000km at least.

well i asked the guy and he said it was fully synthetic ...

Hmm. I'm looking at Castrol's oil site and I can't find any GTXT. The closest I can find is GTX, which is the cheapest stuff they have. The synthetic stuff is Formula R.

GTX2 and GTX3 are the closest and ok for a mineral grade oil.

this is what he said .. quote: "its on par with mobile 1"

and he has a compliance workshop too ... and this is what he uses on all the cars he complies and works on ... i tend to trust the guy cause he seemed to know what he was talking about cause i was askin him about the oil... the cars running well ... can't see or hear anything wrong with it ...
