Yah... expensive but its good stuffs. >_<

Trex101, you sound like you really know your oils. I've got a bottle of full synthetic Fuchs Titan Super GTO 10w-30, do you reckon it should be alright to put in my stock 33? I treat it like there's a baby in back seat and only rev her out about once or twice per tank of fuel. With that oil what should be my oil change intervals? It's usually 5000km but could i stretch that out a bit more?

Not familiar with Fuchs GTO... Is it semi or fully syn? For turbo application, best to use group IV fully syn oil. I read from BITOG that you guys can get Mobil Delvac 1 5w40 for AU$30+ bucks per 5L. That's hell of a good deal over there. Go get that oil, it's a top notch oil for that type of pricing...

Yeah its fully synthetic. The guy that sells it runs it in his stock car(you know the cars that are constantly going sideways around a circular mud track). He sells it for $36.

The thing you need to remember is the rating of the oil. When the GT-R was released, ie late eighties the oil grade was something like SF or SG or thereabouts. Now it is SM or similar. Each change from SF to SG and so on is a quantifiable gain in the protective qualities of the oil. So just about any current oil will be markedly better than what was put in the engine when it was released.

i totally i agree..... i think its more important to change your oil and filter regularly than worrying to much on the quality of the oil....

a car running a cheaper oil changed often vs a car running a motul oil thats never changed is better imo......

either way

anyway

im a motul user too....

5W-40 is OK...nothing special tho...but as trex101 said its good value for money...

It's a dual rated oil with API SL (petrol)/CI-4 rating (diesel). This oil is make up of mostly group IV/V plus a very strong additives package due to the fact that diesel engine are alot more stressful & high load environment for the oil than petrol engine.

If it's cheap, use it. This oil can last much longer than 10k km OCI anytime.

I use Delvac 1 and for the money, its second to none, and is one of the worlds best oils, regardless of price. In fact, if anything it is better than their own Mobil 1 Super Syn range.

Its a pity its so hard to find though.

ok so what oil is best for a 16 year old rb20det? I have being using semi syn 15 w 50 or Pennzoil for a year now, but after reading all this i am beginning to think this oil aint really good for a engine my age? i hear conflicting reports that old engines shouldnt be using "thin" oil like 5w 30w etc, can someone clarify please?

thankyou

oh i ALWAYS change oil and filter at 5000-6000km, i am interested in using a oil that genuinely cleans the engine, as i think 15years of japanese air must not have done it much good. (its done 86000..but we all know about kmz on skylines lol)

If budget is no issue, use ester base Redline 10w40 or 5w40. The ester will slowly but surely clean all the junk out of the engine.

I've been using nothing but Motul 8100 5/40.

Was thinking of going 5/50 for track use but probably won't - will keep 5/40 and get an oil cooler. Would that be ok?

Also, anyone used ELF excellium 5/40? I've been thinking of switching, I think ELF are marketing excellium to take the 8100 market and for $10 if it's the same or better I'll switch.

I wish justjap wasn't so far away genuine nissan filter + 8100 5L for $65 ! Anyone know a place on the Northern Beaches/Shore that will do that!?

Hey, i just called a place in sydney which sells this off the shelf (generally) and they want

$236inc gst for 20L

or

$177inc gst for 3x5L bottles

so its more like $60 for 5 litres not $30 unfortunately!

FYI the place is called fuel direct, in homebush 1300 781 982

fot that price you can get motul 8100(5w-40 as well), which do you think is better?

This might be of interest to those of you who like objective information; i've made a small table with some oil specs on it.

If anyone can find Motul specs PM me and i'll update the table. If anyone can tell me how to make an html table appear in a post, PM me. Pasting the HTML didnt work.

    • 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.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • 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
