8110 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Planning my next oil change for my R34 GTT. Am previously using Q8 Formula F1 10-50W. Was told to give Castrol Edge 10W-60 a try as it's better than the Q8? Anyone here has any experience???

ferni Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 No idea about the Q8 stuff, but most of the track regulars use the Castrol 10w-60 stuff, stock to highly modified. Can't go wrong.

ferni Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I guess not since a bunch of us run it for track days and daily driving and i'm yet to see any oil related issues - ie big ends etc....

8110 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Btw, I'll also be running a 13 rows Trust oil cooler. In addition, I'm located in a hot tropical climate all year round. What oils should I be looking at?? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/159931-engine-oil-castrol-edge-10w-60/#findComment-2971119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omurru Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 If you can understand it have a read of this it's well worth it, might have to read it a couple of time to full understand it I did http://63.240.161.99/motoroil/index.html I'll be trying the castrol 10w-60 next time I change the oil out, I been using motul oil at about twice the price but has been recommended to me to use this by a few guys here.

Beer Baron Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 i've used both the motul chrono 300V 10/40 and the castrol edge 10/60. I wouldn't use anything other than the motul in a GTR any more. it's twice the price as it's full synthetic ester where as the castrol is not.

Omurru Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 whats the castrol then? I was under the impression it was? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/159931-engine-oil-castrol-edge-10w-60/#findComment-2971645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 it's synthetic, can't remember what stock it is made from, but it's not a 100% ester that's for sure.
