G`day simon iam run supersyn,5w40.IN RB25 NEO,i changed oil at 57000,filter.took oil sample at (13869) 70869,

slightly high lead,phoned interpreter & he said that it is ok looking at oil changes at 20,000kms i avarage 7,800 kms a week speeking to techdept should be good for them km`s.i will take oil sample when i have done 20000km`s ,i have to lol when poeple change oil&filter at 5000 km`s ??????`?.i will get the lab report`s scanned & post them up for all to see .westrac/cat have lab $25 for test which is well priced .i may sampler my oil every 10,000 for a year just to get monitor trend`s then i will sample 1 a year.hope this has helped,chuckie

I use it all the time. Does the job pretty well. Don't know about the track work side of things though. Seems to take the punishment pretty well.

I'd say this oil would be pretty on par with Mobil 1.

Hahaha you type like a fresh of the boat asian.

I'm interested in your "oil sampling".

1. Is your RB25 Stagea a RB25DET?

2. Does it get driven hard or putted around/highway driving?

3. .....edited. Answer found.

To state that Fuch's Titan Supersyn is good for 20,000kms is a pretty big call, and I'd say it would have a lot to do with driving style.

I currently change mine at every 5000-7000kms and it comes out pretty black. If it is possible to run this oil at longer intervals then it would be fantastic, but is it possible?

yor not the first person to do UOAs. Post up you results I would like to see what contaminate levels you are getting. I use wearcheck. as for the the oil filter, thats correct - in fact this is true for the air filter also. SO people who change it more often are actually not doing themselves any favours, although most never listen.

Oil filter choice is important, I have found OEM Nissan and K&N to be quite good due to their constuction and materials used.

BTW there is a whoe oil thread for this!

Not necessarily a fob asian. I know plenty of fob euros/white people who talk like that - my friend from germany as an example.

20 000 ks is massive. Keymaker, I agree with you about driving style. Mods too - my car is fairly rich at the moment. When I do my oil change, the oil stinks of fuel, so it must be getting diluted by fuel. That's why I change it fairly often.

I use it all the time. Does the job pretty well. Don't know about the track work side of things though. Seems to take the punishment pretty well.

Lol yeah my comments on english were probably uncalled for, but were written with humour in mind, so no hard feelings. Sorry chuckie. It just helps when posts are more understandable.

As for oil, I might consider changing it at 10,000kms instead of 5000-7000 kms.

I've always been iffy whether I should change it at 10,000kms so I just changed it at 5000-7000kms.

Hey chuckie, how did you go with your oil sampling? Any chance of posting up the info you got?

GOOD TIMING DUDE JUST DROP SAMPLE OFF TO DAY SO WILL GET SOME NEW`S SOON DUDE NEED TO GET TREND HAPPENING SO THIS IS NUMBER 2 WILL START TWO SEE WHAT`S GOING ON OIL IS QUITE BLACK SO THAT SHOW`S THAT IT`S DOING THE JOB.I HAVE BEEN CHANGING FILTER AT 10,000KM`S .SO HOPE TO POSTSOME RESULT`S FRIDAY.cheer`s chuckie

Awesome, I look forward to seeing the results :cheers:

i use penrite 5w 40.

http://www.penrite.com.au/html/s02_article...p;nav_top_id=55

works beautifully see's about 1-2 track days a month and maybe 1-2dyno days a month.

i change it about every 2-3mths.

works awesome...keeps its gold color, resisting carbon... and keeps the parts clean.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
