Did an oil change today and used motul due to it being more readily available here than my regular drop.

Whilst at repco I saw an all synthetic from penrite called SIN. Has anybody had any experience with it. Going by the price it would want to be some good schizzz.

My mechanic would agree with that! He thinks using any penrite product is a sin!!!

HAW HAW HAW!!!

A mechanic I know would say anyhing else is a sin! >_<

He has been trying to blow up his 200 000km stock bottom ended 350awkw GTR for years and cant...he attributes some of his lack of success to this oil!

I used to use Penrite in my first 33....I liked it and it was recommended by quite a few workshops...I reckon this stuff would be pretty good..they seem to know what they're doing...I used Motul in my other cars though...and also found that to be reasonably good.

yep, penrite has had some good history on its side. A few racing cars and been making oil for donkey's years etc....

Tried motul and switched, I've been using the royal purple and really happy with that. Great oil temp and pressure stability, good friction resistant and seems to come upto pressure quicker (than the motul i was using prior). On the skyline I think the royal purple has the history and the creds- especially with hi end gtr's etc. A lot of top jap workshops have used the royal in the past.

That's my pref, for what its worth...

Haha, I think most of the top end oils in fairly stock cars (ie a bit of boost etc) are pretty much the same anyway.

I guess at least the penrite stuff is somewhat Australian.

Redline or royal purple would be my choice but its too darn hard to source here in the switch. :laugh:

I didn't say it was MY opinion, why is it necessary for me to back it up? I was simply stating that many people would prefer other oils over Magnatec in particular.

Oils aint oils?

Anyway i am about to try Mobil 1 5w50 in my car next service.... then im going to try the Motul Semi Synth 5w50 and see what the difference is.. i might also try a Penrite as i put it in my Gf's celica with 200,000 on the clock and it now works a damn treat..

I use to use the semi synth Motul in my silvia and it never had a problem.

Guess i will just see how it goes..

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
