Zaver Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hey guyz, im finally getting the oil changed in my car and have a decided to use Motul Turbolight 4100... Well i use it for everyday use but my car will be seeing the track in few days and that is the main reason im changing the oil now... But i need it for all round performance which would be track as well as Day to day!! So what vicosity oil would u guyz recommend?? I was a little confused with the 0w40 and 10w40 when the mechanic asked me today!! Or should i be using some other vicosity!! And what sort of oil filter should i pick up and from where... BTW i have a R34 GTT pulling 180KW at the Rear... And what brake fluid should i buy , will just top that up as its a little low...

Get EPIC Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hey all.I am currently using Penrite 10W 40 full synthetic.Seems to be ok.Decent price.Do you think Motul 4100 turbolite is better, worse, or about on par with this oil?I change my oil every 5000 kms and most of this is highway driving.

I'm useing the same and I just changed it after 4 months and about 2500ks all short journeys and it seemed a bit shagged which surprised me , may have just been appearance though the oil pressure and general running still seemed good how is yours on changing ? I noticed the price has gone up a bit as well I paid $48.00 for it 3 months ago and it was $63.00 at Autobarn a week ago. (5lt) FFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRkit.

(5lt) FFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRkit. Yeh changed it yesterday and seemed as thick as i would expect.Like u said, oil pressure was good the whole time i had it in the engine for 5000kms.Maybe its just doing a good job of removing contaminates to look so shagged.I really want to stick to a 10W40 as i think this is a good viscosity for our engines so im just seeing if there is anything in this price range thats better.A lot of people rate 4100 turbolite so i would like to know whether this so called penrite full synthetic is as good as the Motul.As for the price,i still paid around the $50 mark or else i would have gone something else.

Moodles2 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 5w50 is just the cold/hot rating.. is it a full synthetic or semi-synth? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22458-the-goods-on-oils/page/57/#findComment-4905689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3ndan Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 5-50 is fully synth... tho the 0-40 which is about 20 bucks more is a better oil.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22458-the-goods-on-oils/page/57/#findComment-4906311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricstar Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 this may be obvious to some due to the turbo- non turbo factor. but why is it I'm told by tuners etc that oil temp around or above 120 degrees is time to start easing off and cooling down, even with top of the range motul.. I know couple of guys with ford F6, and 6.2 maloo, that run at up to 120-130 with normal driving and up to 150 when given a bit, and hsv dealer said up to 150 is fine... whats the diff Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22458-the-goods-on-oils/page/57/#findComment-4909435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodles2 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I contacted the Australian distributor of Motul recently about my R32 GTR and using 8100 X-Cess (100% synthetic) at the track. Basically said 130c is safe but not for prolonged periods of time. Tuners are correct, above 120 you want to back off. Typical Australian performance cars, can't handle the conditions of the country they were built in. What oil do HSV+FPR recommend? 150c would be hilarius recommendation from that HSV dealer if they're running on shitty oil like magnatec, GTX etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22458-the-goods-on-oils/page/57/#findComment-4909573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy64 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I put in Pennrite 10-40 to try in the car when I bought it last month. Engine temp was around 80-90 but it was winter at the time when driving. Think I'll try Motul next, Repsol for sure is great stuff and obviously Elf as we and all other teams use all three brands in our bikes which are always on the limiter. Not sure how easy it is to get repsol in oz but will look into this. Might try caltex havoline one day too as I heard its not bad.
