best possible oil is probably the redline for hundreds of $$$, fully synthetic, group 5 and used by a lot of people for track cars.

can't remember the others but im sure you'll find them if you look back through the pages.

the thing is, if you're not running to the redline on a track for dozens of laps you don't need to spend that money on the oil. for a stockish steet car you can get away with a really good semi-synth, but i prefer group 4 or 5's, 8100 xcess, 300v or royal purple, all good stuff.

just be warned nulon "fully synthetic" is a lie, and magnatec is shite :)

did an oil change yesterday and used Motul 8100 X-CESS runs great at the mo really happy with it :)

Motul seems to be the preferred oil?I am curious to hear what others have to say about Castrol Edge. Where does it fit in when comparing synthetics (10-30w).

what is the going price for Motul 8100 X-CESS

Best price on a group 5 oil is Gulf Western Sougi 6000, it can be found for $60 for 5L, I was buying 300v but the price is excessive for the 5000k changes I do.

For those contemplating E85, the Sougi is ethanol/methanol tolerant unlike the 300v. (although I had no problem with it.)

motul 8100 excess will be about $75 for 5L.

sougi is the best value for money but no longer being made.

there is still heaps left tho

and if it gets used up quickly they may make another batch

I run Redline in everything, only oil approved for use in F18 jets ?, and can get group buy happening if enough interest

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
