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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
