Hey I bought a 92 r32 gts with a rb25 (non turbo) a little while ago and im ready to change the oil but im wondering what would be the best to use and what weight.. from what i gather something like mobil1 5-30 or pennzoil 10-40.. i was going to go the pennzoil but didnt know wether it was fully synthetic or not, basically im just unsure.. any help would be much appreciated cheers

yeh wtf? :glare:

Think about it..

It's a non turbo 2.5 engine. Why would you bother with fully synthetic oil?

And you can go too thin. If you use for example 10W 30 it might be good for climates that dont get too hot or very modern engines but the 30 rating is a bit too thin for australian summers and older engines.

The recommendations often change depending on climate. The condition of the engine is also a big factor.

It's not that hard to understand. If you notice the oils for older engines are thicker e.g. the shell one is 25W60.

I'm not saying to go that thick but don't go for 0w30 or something..

Your choice

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
