You poor little munchkins, I just spent over 200 bucks on redline courtesy of an increased capacity sump. ouch!

meh it doesnt bother me buying oil.. just i have no idea what im buying when i go in there ;) thats why i asked.. and didnt get a helpful response except for a brand name lol..

i went to supercheap and autobarn and came home with nothing..

i asked wat oil filter i need, and they handed my the right one. i read the box, and it said skyline (1978 - 1987 ) so i didnt get it lol

ill try again tomorrow

Oil filter is a Z145a. I dunno what stupid number Valvoshit use but that's the one you're after.

Oil is anything semi-synthetic or full synthetic 10w40, 10w50, 15w40, 15w50. Try to steer clear of anything under 10 and over 50. 10w30 if you have to.

If you choose to do your own oil change, be prepared to pay consequences if you make a mistake.

And the reason Redline was suggested is because it is, by far, the best oil on the market. You won't get it for a 'bargain price'. Be prepared to pay good money for good oil. I can get you a gallon of Redline 15w50 for $105 and around $30 for the 1L bottle.

Or you can go for maybe the next best oils on the market being Mobil 1 and Motul 300V. I don't rate Castrol as their so called 'Full Synthetic' oils are blended so that is crap in my book.

Mobil 1 you'll pay around $80 for 5L - generally a tad thin for what you want. I think it comes in a 0w40 or a 5w50 or something like that.

300V you can only get in 4's and 2's so 6L will set you back around $160-190.

im not being an ass, i just wanna know why its ur pick. is it because uve had better results in engines than ones with the motul/mobil?

wow, thanks for the great response, ill be writting it down and heading out tomorrow..

i spent 98 bucks on oil last time. so i dont mind spenidng more for better stuff :sleep: i just want whats recommened and it ""trusted"" on by other sau members :)

and i was planning on changes it myself.. what kinda consequences am i looking at if done wrong?

It's my pick because rather than cutting costs by blending into polyalphaolefin base stock for its motor oil, Red Line Oil only uses superior poly ester-based products—resulting in lubricants that are extremely stable at high temperatures while providing superior film strength at lower viscosities where more power can be produced.

Motor oil.

Red Line synthetic motor oils are a superior strength oil, designed to provide the highest degree of protection and cleanliness for your engine. Red Line lubricants contain polyol ester base stocks, the only lubricants which can withstand the tremendous heat of modern jet engines, which makes our motor oil a necessity to properly lubricate a hot running engine or a turbocharger. More importantly, Red Line motor oils can significantly reduce engine wear, which means a longer useful life for your engine. Unlike other oils that break-down quickly, thus having to be changed at small intervals, Red Line has superior long-drain capabilities. Read about how Red Line synthetic oils have been shown to last 40,000 kms in field tests.

Race oil.

Red Line has a complete line of race oils (5W up to 70W) that work under the demanding conditions of high-performance driving. Red Line Race Oils have gained a reputation as the ultimate racing lubricant. Marketers of other lubricants unsuccessfully claim to be “as good as Red Line”. Our lubricants are used by teams who understand that improved performance and equipment durability is the key to winning. Our race oils are made with the most thermally stable synthetic base stocks available and provide the best high-temperature lubrication and a higher film strength than any petroleum or synthetic marketed. Red Line Race Oils provide more power than an oil of similar viscosity, while providing much more protection. Each reduction in viscosity grade allows 1–2% more power.

Redline can explain it better.

Basically protects engine better. Make more power. Oil is more thermally stable. Only oil that can lubricate hot metal.

Redline are the only oil manufacturer that can PRINT that they are better than all others on the market because they can actually prove it.

Leaving the oil filter o-ring on the engine. Sometimes it sticks to the filter housing and when you screw the new one on it just pulls to one side and stops the filter from sealing. You'll end up with 5L of oil on the floor and all over the drivers side of your engine bay in about 3-4seconds.

You could leave the sump plug out and slip over on the puddle around your feet.

You could accidentally mistake your expensive oil for good scotch and drink it. This will poison you.

Also....ask R33_Racer why he uses Redline in his track car? I'm sure he'll tell you it's because it's a far superior product.

...either that or because his dad tells him to lol.

....But if you ask his dad, then, he would definately say that....definately.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
