Id recomend the 300v 10/40 its great the line loves it, oil filter cant go past genuine Nissan their cheaper than all the others and come pre-lubed ( the only cheap nissan part ).Gearbox i just use Castrol semi synthetic

Is the Motul 8100 a true synthetic oil or just a modified mineral oil with synthetic on the lable? The reason i ask is because on their site the other synthetic oils specifically say they are ester based, but not the 8100.

I am currently using Motul 8100 but may change if it turns out it is not a true synthetic.

There's not much info out there on the stdish range of Fuchs. I looked at it and really tried to dig up some voa's and uoa's with little success. :(

There silkolene range however is a very nice oil but isn't available anywhere in Adelaide that I know of.

The 8100 is a full pao based oil.

It is a 100% synthetic as are mobil 1 etc.

The next step up is a ester based synthetic oil.

Actually .... its a lil more complicated than that. :(

Apparently their 8100 E-Tech 0W40 is a PAO/Ester blend whilst their 8100 X-cess 5W40 is a Group III blend. Hence the fair price difference too. Real world differences? Probably not much unless you do long drain intervals, a rarity on SAU. :O

Who knows. :(

I emailed Motul some time back and they replied it is a 100% PAO oil with the E-Tech being a PAO/Ester (Group IV/V) blend.

I believe PAO can only be GRP IV?

Why manufactures don't list exactly what the oil is on their web site is beyond me. :O The only mob that do is Mobil.

So the 8100 is ok to use, it was just wierd that its discription was so broad. It didn't even mention that is could be used in turbo engines. I'm guessing they want to talk up the more expensive oils so we buy them and not the cheaper ones that can probably do a satisfactory job.

At the end of the day i don't know anything about oils, i can only go on what i pick up here and there.

Whats it worth.. Last I checked I think it worked out some where around $120 for an oil change with 1ltr to spare. So next change will be slightly cheaper.

I'll go the 10w40.

oh the thought of a ester cleaned motor so clean you can eat off it. :(

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
