Just wondering if this oil is any good? I know you all recommend much more expensive oils but things are tight for me at the moment. The guy at the shop did say this oil was recently compared to Mobil 1 Synthetic and was superior.

Has anyone heard anything bad about this OIL concerning Skylines??

I am draining the shit oil out tomorrow. I have blown no smoke and cant see any leaking anywhere but on the dipstick it is getting lower. I have heard this means the motor does not like the oil it currently contains.

Also what is the model number of the NGK sparkplugs ( the normal plugs) for the 'line and what should I gap them at (I have stocker except for air filter)

Thanks people.

number for plugs is BCPR6E from memory but u should recheck

u can get it from Marlows / Repco and get a gapping tool as well ($2) and gap them to 0.8 coz they come gapped at 1.2

just under 4 bucks for one and havent had any issues with it so far (no misfiring) seems to be doing well

yeah my plugs were changed just recently - nissan come out with platinums and a few mechanics will recomend them to u but normal $4 do just as well. :D

Ive got Redline in the Skyline but my 300ZX has Visco in it and i havent had any probs with that oil :)

Mobil 1 is tried and tested amongst us so it is the go. Others have their preferences but all go for the well known brand name stuff... So there is something in that.

Plantiums are a matter of opinion. If I change normal NGK R's every 20,000 I am still saving from buying the Platiums.

Your choice.

I just bought 5L of visco 5000. The specs look good on paper (https://www.distributor.bp.com.au/wls/servl...?cid=13&scid=14), but the true test is how it works out in real life use.

I've had enough of paying $50+ for Mobil 1, so I'm switching if this stuff delivers the goods. (Unless Strich9ine can get us all a piece of that $35 Mobil action :P ).

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
