Any brand will work fine, some just last longer than others. I still believe you are better off using a cheaper ($50) oil and changing it every 5k rather than spending twice that and trying to strin

Royal Purple 10W-50, warm it between your hands for a few seconds then apply it to the area at the base of your shaft between your balls ..about as valid as any other opinion in this thread

F1 still use monograde 10 weight oils, hence the need to get the engine warm before starting it. Nothing stone age about it...

I was using Motul xcess 5w-40 before i tried the gulf, basically in a nutshell.

Pressure would build up quicker with the motul oil

The gulf western made the car feel "lethargic", almost like it was slower to rev up

Otherwise that was it, it just felt different to drive....I mean I could be crazy and it could all be placebo, but there was definitely a difference in the way the car revved.

Ill see how i go with the Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40.

It's a different grade, of course it would feel different. How often would it be at hot oil temps this time of year...

Do you have an oil temp gauge?

Pouring new 10w40 into an engine today it was like honey...

Well both grades were rated the same, 5w-40 - is that what you are referring too scott?

The R33 GTR has the stock oil temp gauge, once the oil gets up to temp, it seemed to feel the same as the motul (100degree's). Just at lower temps it felt like i described. Where the motul was different at lower temps.

Its been a while since I had the motul in it, so looking forward to seeing how the Shell stacks up against the two, as its priced somewhat in between them both.

The cold weather makes the car lethargic on a cold start not the oil - particularly when you're comparing similar grades.

There may be a difference if someone snuck in some 40W70... :)

Sorry Booki, I just checked and you are correct, the GW synx 6000 is indeed 5W40, I checked the old Sougi 6000 accidentally which is a 10w40 and the Synx 3000 which is also a 10w40.

I haven't had any issues with any of these grades feeling lethargic, although I suspect the VQ's run a higher oil temp as standard.

Penrite make it clear on their website that the '10 Tenths Racing 10 (10W-40)' is a synthetic mixed of group 4 and 5 which is great, but my local doesn't stock it!

So I've got to settle for the HPR 10 (10W-50). I've tried searching this thread but can't find an answer as to what group Penrite HPR is.

Anyone know?

I bought some Penrite Enviro+ 5W40 to try next change, full synth and SN rated so it should be fine with ethanol. 10 Tenths is hard to find.

Really most autobahns stock it regularly. I swapped from 10 tenths to royal purple and found it ran pretty well in the 33.

There is also Premium 5 (5W-60)

If you local store doesn't have it, go to another one (if you can).

      To be Frank (always liked that name), I reckon this is a better idea. I'm an R32 man from day 1 and the really good surviving examples that are still in stock form should stay that way. Let ye conscience guide you my son 🙂

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
