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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
