Whats The Best Oil For A R34 Gtt?

[PAV34]

what engine oil do you recommend for a rb25det???

what do you use on your 'line?

[nsm034]

motul 4100 turbo light

[(oo\__4Door__/oo)]

Royal Purple

fully synthetic,

ive seen the tests, and it shits on so many other top name oils,

u can also get 15 thou kms out of it,

worth the extra money

[dezz]

castrol R

10W 60

[Zappn]

Castrol R is now called Edge I think.

Currently have Castrol R 10-60 in mine, seems pretty good.

Using Mobil1 5-50 next change in a few weeks though.

[Bluprint]

I use Motul 4100 Turbolight

I'm using Motul Turbolight 4100 ATM in my 33 (same engine) but am going to start using Elf's 10W-50 full synthetic oil. A friend of mine changed his 200SX over to the stuff from the motul & he won't go back. Not much dearer than the 4100 which is only a semi-synthetic, but well worth the little extra.

15000 Km's is a bit far for 1 lot of oil on a turbo car, you should always change your oil at 5000 km if u want your turbo to last a reasonable amount of time, not to mention protecting hydraulic lifters & the variable valve timing gear amoungst other things too.

Last change, for my GTR, I put in Mobil1 5W50 fully synthetic

[choyda]

[smurf80]

[DOUGMO]

ELF 5W 4O SYNTHETIC

[12DFY]

Im using castrol edge 10w-60. Seems to maintain good oil pressure and does not breakdown with heat!

[godzGtR]

i would recomend motul turbo light

[Coupe-This]

the oil i have for sale which i used in the skyline

motul 8100 x-cess 5 - 40

[satanic]

Used to use ELF oil but have currently been using NULON which has been a good move on my car; or maybe I'm just crazy and the difference is purely from the new oil being put in!

i know 5 thou is wat it should be changed at, and yea but that 15 thou is wat my mechanic recomended and they would talk shit to me, im goin to monitor the oil and keep trach of it all arond the 3K km through to 5K km though, so im no way known gonna let it f**k anything up, He uses royal purple in every thing he knows, i guess ill let u all know, cheers

Semi synthetic will do for most uses.

Save your money and change it every 5-6000km

Oil servicing is more dependant on the type and condition of the car (or more specifically the engine) than the type of oil that's stuck in the thing. It may start off as a better oil, but none of them will magically hold their original properties for 10,000 klicks more than another oil.

I'd say maybe at best you may squeeze an extra 1000 kays out of the better oil simply because it (allegedly) starts off as a higher grade of oil. All oil gets carbon deposits and other contaminants that the engine produces in it just as fast, & this more than anything is why it needs changing regularly anyway.

I haven't heard of Royal Purple myself, I'm dreading what you're spending on the stuff!!

[jutstar]

don't know

[Topaz]

Most people here are leaning towards Motul 4100 turbo light. I might try this next, what the rating on it (ie 10W/50)?

or the Castrol R...

What are some signs of a bad oil? or a wrong mix for a particular engine?
