That 10-40 everyday Shiite has been out for a while. Used it a couple of times in an sr20, seemed OK. I ended up changing to castrol edge 10-60 to try and stop my flogged sr from making its ugly sr noises. I don't have an sr anymore. I'm now an rb fan. I've got about 15 litres of 10-60 stockpiled in my shed. I'm wondering if it will be OK to run in the rb25?

that penrite extra10 shite confuses the crap outta me. is it a 10w30 or a 10w40?? package says may be used where 10w-30 is recommended.

everyday 10w-40 made the v35 sump seal weep oil, was all wet. switched to nulon 10w40, dry as... so does that mean penrite everyday is really a 10w30 with some extra "protection'?

Yep diesel engine oils usually contain higher levels of dispersants to prevent the soot particles from agglomerating.

Historically they have always contained higher zinc which has significant anti-wear properties. They got rid of zinc in the 80s because of catalytic converter contamination fears but recently started to reintroduce it into petrol engine oils.

I have used it since 2007 in my LS2 and for 5 years in my RB.

When I blew my turbo couple of years ago I pulled the sump off and it was amazing. No deposits at all.

Technically, yes. It acts like a 30 weight oil.

If you put R32 GTR into Penrites recommendation guide, is says that HPR 5 SAE 5W-40 is the preferred one. The new, cheaper one may be a lesser oil.

It's just for my daily and the mrs car so all good. I use Castrol 10-60 in the GTR.

10w40 and 20w50 full syn oils should have everyone's bases covered,

I have no idea why anyone would want to use heavier oils in a high revving motor like an RB?

unless I had no oil cooler and I was bashing through a Dakar rally then maybe I would use a 60 weight

I use the the Penrite Racing 5 (5W-30) when I can find it on special, but most of the time I'll use the HPR Diesel 5 (5W-40) I have the Racing 5 in there now and it seems spin up a little quicker than the Diesel 5 that it replaced.

Will be interesting to see how the thinner stuff hold up during this summer.

Great sticky, did a bit of research and just bought royal purple 10w40 high performance Street for 92 bucks for 5 litres and nissan oem filter for 20. Will hit 5k service on the weekend. Car currently runs smoothly but would like to see the difference at the high end of things after the change.

I'm Betting none.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
