Motul is frog f**ker shite. It gave me nothing but trouble, as soon as it got temperature into it my oil pressure dropped. Penrite Sin is my second choice after Royal Purple, it is almost as good as proven in that independent test a few years back

You should probably enlighten us as to why before we disregard anything else you ever say as the ramblings of a crazy person

just one of those personal preference things.

havnt heard anything bad about royal purple.

in the missus mazda 3, went from penrite 5-40 everyday full synthetic, to motul 8100x-cess 5-40, and could feel a decent difference by seat of the pants feel.

Fair enough, I like RP because it gets to 500km without any silly oil pressure shenannigans. Every other oil I have used does not. Also in the famous test from a few years back it was the only oil that came out of the 'load up the bearing with 100Lb of force' test with a bearing that would not have resulted in a death rattle.

I used penrite for the first 6 months of owning the car. It was ok but did give me some weird pressure readings. Switched to RP on the qld boys recommendation and have been very happy with it. My only problem is getting my hands on a bottle hence why I have to order it in from the parts shop across the road from work.

hairy muff.

each to their own.

my engine builder has recommended penrite.

I just have to find the right grade.

will be looking at going ten tenths.

hope they dont change their range again.

Exactly right, everyone has their own preference when it comes to oil.

Same here, I get 3000ish ks on Penrite before my pressure goes silly.

They are forever screwing around with the range, but that have something silly like 5W70. I use that in mine when I cant get my hands on the Purp

yeah, builder recommended hpr70, doesnt exist in a full synth.

so, need to start looking.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
