The Goods On Oils

[made_guy]

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.

whooah! why you spending $200?? redline from performancelub should be around the $100 mark delivered for 5 quarts.

Hey guys what Motul oil would you guys recommend for my s1 r33. stock engine with 140,000km?

Hey thanks for that.

Redline Synthetic Oil 5w-40 from performanceclub.com is about 17 bucks per 950 ML. So thats 6 * 17 which is around 114 dollars. How much is the delivery charge from them as it does not say?

Cheers!

Why don't you just ask Harold from performancelub.com about the shipping charge?

^^yep yep he links to the aussie post calculator, but will give you a proper quote quick smart if you email him the order.

how come you're getting 6 quarts tho??? i doubt a skyline would need 6 to be honest. even with a filter change

Dont we need 5 litres of oil for the engine? So if you only buy 5 * 0.950 ML thats like 4.75 litres. Is that enough or do we need 5 litres exactly?

Also if the car is stock, sees no track and seldomly gets floored on the streets, can I just service it every 10,000 KMs?

[Modena]

Another question. If I was to go for Redline motor oils, what one would best suit me.

My car:

Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T. Stock with turbo back exhaust.

65,000 KMs.

Do not go to the track.

Should I go for 5w-30, 5w-40 or 10w-30?

Im confused.

[thinh]

if anyone can help me.

my car has done 180xxx

what oil is recomended for that amount of k's

[OoskylineoO]

I was quoted $93 4 5L of motul 300v 10w40..is that the correct price of that oil?!?!

[Chi100188]

hmmm today i went into Auto one and i also read the oil review that was attatched to this topic...mmm the guy was telling me that Penrite Synthetic "SIN" 5 5w60 is way better then the Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5w30? and also the oil review also had better results from the Penrite...im talking about the one that was using the bearings and showing the marks etc etc....so the question is keep using MOBIL 1 or try Penrite? any help would be sweet

Was that the street commodores grease test? Even they admitted it was an unreliable test.

dont care which gay test results some shows you, M1 is better oil. Get it and you will be happy.

[Chi100188]

Cheers

depends on how you feel. Generally people have been going with the 0W40. In asutarlia we are scared of "thin" oils. If its for street use, thin is great to reduce startup wear. However if ur gonna see some track 40-50 weight be better. Generally for a mixture of booting it around racing excels and honda accords, 0W40 would be fine (M1 of course...)

[Chi100188]

ahh alright matey ill try the 0w40 out instead of the 5w30 this time due to them bieng around the same price
