It is poor value for money, put the extra money towards a turbo upgrade, new bushes, new brake pads, new anything really. Even if you are tracking the car it isn't worth it, just get 8100 or one of the other comparable oils.

For the money some of you guys spend on oil you could just buy a new engine every 5 years.

Hey guys,

I've been running Motul 8100 5w40 Oil for the last few years.

Recently I have been attended a few 'spirited' cruises and have noticed the oil temp jump to 120 degrees. Normally it is around 90 degrees. Ambient temp outside would have been around 20 day/night.

Are there consequences on the engine in the oil running this hot?

I have been told to run a higher weight i.e. 5w50?

Car is a 200rwkw GT-T with about 150,000km's.

:cheers:

We really need a super moderator / oil expert to sift through all the crap here and cut down this 100+ thread. One page at the start recommending SAU's most used oils for summer.

something like:

For track work we recommend: RP 15w-60, or Redline RACE (~$100)

for daily use/light track work: motul or chrono 300 ($90) or mobile 1 ($80)

daily: penrite 10w 40 ($55) / mobil 1 ($80)

(i'm just using the above as an example not that i recommend the actual brands or know the specific prices)

Oil is so damn confusing, IS it worth shelling out $100 for 4 litres for Redline/RP. Given that you need 2 bottles to do a full change and a filter that makes it a +$200 job for a damn oil change! Like someone said earlier after a few years you could buy a whole new engine!

Is a $100 bottle of 10w 40 full synthetic justifiably better than a $55 bottle of full synthetic? Will our old RB's really be able to see the difference?

can the

It is simple, if you can afford a new motor for the price of your oil, then don't do it lol.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
