The Goods On Oils

[Ding]

Hmm, this post clears alot of the air about oils.

Note: The guys at Autobahn don't know jack.

I just found this

e-monitor

I will be giving this a go after my next oil change and post up some results.

I was running 300v but just can't justify it with the all the daily commuting I do. I have just changed to Nulon 10-40 Fast flowing stuff, will see how it goes in 5000km.

How did you go with the Nulon mate?

/\ hmmm sounds interesting it would be cool if a group off skyline owners got this and posted there results so that ppl can compare oils and also find out if there is anything wrong with there car

Motul 8100 X-cess 5w40 and K&N Filters here.

Seems to be doing the job fine. I don't seem to be losing any oil, which is a plus!

I haven't yet, it's been in the car for a couple of changes now but haven't done the UOA yet

I put Nulon in my latest change...

Reading the bottle, it achieves a API rating of SM (highest current rating) and a ACEA rating of A3/B4 which is right up there... and yes it is definately 100% synthetic

let me know how u go

I just did my first oil change since I bought my car. (5,000ish km's)

Put Motul 300V Chrono 10W40 in it.

The oil smells bubblegum flavoured! And the car smells like it when it's running too, it's cool!

Jay Leno, world renown car guy and collector talk about his using top quality Redline gear oil for his car and bike collection. Very interesting video.

haha most of us can't afford 200 bucks on one oil change

[Longz]

has anyone tried 10-40 royal purple on a GTR34 vspec ?

[BASHO]

I've been using Nulon 10/40 Synthjetic Hi Flow for the last 3 oil changes , this time around it cost me $60.00 from Cheaper Auto, if it goes up again in price I'm going to be looking round for an alternative at that price I may as well go the few extra bucks and go for something from Motul.

I'm also finding the Nulon seems to apear to age quickly I'd only done 2500ks & 5 months since my last change and if I hadn't known I would have the oil at twice that age, the engine is tight (80000ks) so I doubt theres any excesive internal wear to contribute extra crap--mind you I'm a bit fussy when it comes to oil--

Hence why I use the Castrol edge as flushing oil

haha good call, cant imagine Castrol would be too pleased reading that though lol.

[QLDR31]

Im doing an oil change tommorrow on my wifes Stagea.

Just read the manual, says oil should be 5-30W.

Bit of a bugger cause I stocked up on some Castrol Magnatec 10-40W while it was cheap (Might start feeding it to my R31).

Think the guys doing the 10,000KM service have been using Castrol Magnatec Professional 5-40W. After 5000KMs the oil still has a bit of browny colour in it but engine only done 82K. The oil in my R31 goes black pretty quickly but its done closer to 400K.

[QLDR31]

The oil looked a bit browny on the dip stick. But when drained it looked very black.

I bought some Penrite HPR 5 semi synthetic 5W-40. 5L cost me around $45 from SuperCheap, Thought id give it a try and Penrite is Australian Owned yay!

my stag has been apparently running on the sin5 but i'll be changing to the nulon this week i think

penrite seems to have done well but its pretty dark and only about 4 months old i think

i had nulon in my 32 and it seemed good

[bozodos]

why would you run semi synthetic oil in a twin cam RB motor

I thought that oil is meant to be brown when it comes out as evidence that it's cleaning the engine.

[FullySick26]

I change my oil every 3,000ks with Motul 300V Competition 15W50

[TALBO]

I change at 10K using Motul 300V Chrono 10-40

[xiaorpowr]

Hey guys,

We all know that Motul 300V is grade V and its one of the "best" but at over $120 per oil change, I just cant afford it.

So, I've since used Nulon Fast Flow 10W-40... and it seemed okay.

I've been reading this shit so much and could never make up my mind... there was just too much hearsay.

So I took the liberty to call some oil manufacturers to get some facts:

Nulon - all their fast flow oils are group III and they dont make any group IV's, so its not a "real" synthetic

Castrol Edge 5W30 is a group III, the 0W40 is the only group IV in their range

So Nulon 10W40 was $68 for 5L (group III)

Castrol Edge 0W40 $68 for 5L also (group IV)

I think i know which one i'll be buying... anyways, just my oppinion, backed up by some facts from the manufactuer

[SS8_Gohan]

thought that was the case, i knew the 10w60 for Edge wasn't fully synthetic...

not that uncommon for the same type of oil to only be full synth in a certain weight.
