Motul turbo light is semi synthetic..

http://www.motul.com.au/product_line_up/4s.../4stroke16.html

I was under the impression it was 100%.. ohh well.. its still good

[Beer Baron]

turbo light is pretty ordinary. I wouldn't personally use it in a car I care about.

[Cubes]

Due to the price of it I've always wondered if the turbolight semi-synthetic is similiar to that of the grpIII synthetics (castrol etc) that are not really synthetics.

Could be......

Guys, sorry if this has been covered (not going thru 11ty billion pages), I just wanted to get an idea of what people think of Castrol Edge 10w-60?

For a 1990 R32 GTR with ~120k on the dial.

Been recommended to me by a reputable workshop, they use it on heaps of their cars.

Cheers!

Just spoke to Fuel Direct where i got my last lot of Delvac 1, price has gone up from $180 for 3x5L to $230+ delivery.

Also called Motorex in SA (saw that others have ordered from there) and they said they dont sell Mobil anymore, only Valvoline.

Looks like cheapest group IV oil is now Motul 8100 assuming you can still get it for $59. I think ill go have look for that this weekend.

Does anyone know where to get Delvac for around $60/5L anymore? Any good deals in Sydney right now?

Anyone?

[made_guy]

maybe we should just do a poll....or something like that.

10w-60 seems like too wide a spread. most recommendations are aound 10w-40, 15w-40 or even 5w-30.

put it this way, how important is the health of your engine? if you don't push your engine all that hard, you should be pretty right with regular run of the mill oils.

however most people agree that fully synthetics are the way to go for hi-power engines that are 'opened up' on a regular basis.

motul chrono and redline are two oils that seem to be trusted by almost everyone, however they're expensive, soooo to answer your question (sorry i work for the govt so i like to run around in circles confusing people before i actually get to the point and even then it probably doesn't actually answer your question but by then you're over it and just nod and say ok and leave) i think i've seen fairly low opinions of castrol edge on this thread. although i THINK (don't quote me) sydney kid uses castrol products on his track car.

or you might want to type the word castrol down in the left corner there

sorry if it has been covered

Redline is better cos its ester based group 5 oil. Mobile 1 is synthetic too but belongs to group IV as it does not have ester.

Mind you I might try Mobile 1 myself at the next service... i just cant convince to spend over 200 bucks for an oil change when my car does not see the track and is stock.
