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...

Google "Fumoto" oil drain valve if you haven't heard of it...

Installed one of these on my R33 a while ago and not only does it make oil changes as easy as flicking a switch (no more sump plugs and washers and oil pouring out over your hands/spanner), it looks kind of cool too :)

Very cheap for what it is!

The k&n with the nut, what a brilliant idea! Why don't they all do that...

well considering filter is only meant to be hand tight I would think its pretty pointless just like changing your sump plug washer..dont overtighten things in the first place and you wont have any problems :thumbsup:

Thanks for the advice Rolls, I think I'll go the cheaper option Motul, does seem to make sense when you put it in the new motor perspective.

Now... Where do I get my hands on it? Supercheap doesn't stock Motul right? I'm in Sydney.

Where do I get a Nissan oil filter?

if your after motul 4100 turbolight check out just jap in the traders section... bought 5L for 80 odd bucks including postage which only took a day

It definitely looks good. How secure is it though birds, I'm guessing you've never had any trouble? Does it feel like the safety latch will protect against a wayward stone flying up under the car?

I've only ever done filters up hand tight and only ever managed to undo one or two by hand (of a couple of dozen changes at least). Having that leverage/grip makes it so much easier. Though you can always just stick a screw driver through it (never done it myself but have been tempted).

if your after motul 4100 turbolight check out just jap in the traders section... bought 5L for 80 odd bucks including postage which only took a day

Isn't 4100 turbolight usually a fair bit cheaper than that? Seeing as 8100 is usually $75-80?

yeah it was like 60 bucks for 5L postage was $20 ish.... lol the screwdriver trick... i thoroughly dont recommend it - some say its ok - for me an oil change usually takes an hour.. it took days to finally wrench my old filter off after breaking just about every tool i had

Doesn't sound right, 8100 xcess is only $60 when you shop around, 4100 is cheaper again. Worst case 8100 is $80, 4100 should never be that price.

well I would think that means your doing them up to tight wouldnt u?

Also are you putting them on dry or wet, smear a little oil around the seal and half fill it with oil before you put it on..

Anyway, I guess some people just dont get it, which is why they make filters with little nuts..

i dont see why anyone would use a semi synth 4100 when you can get a full synth 8100 for about the same price .. is it because its called turbolight people think its better for turbos :unsure:

About MX5's, the smart money is on the NC, specifically the NC2 if your budget goes that far, and with MX5 pricing that's pretty much where they go. Occasionally you see them pop up with tasteful mods like suspension and such, but the NC2 is the quiet sleeper of the range in terms of overall goodness.

      The housing it self made minimum differences, while the exhaust manifold made a difference. 6 Boost T3 divided will do fine. ATR43SS3ProR model in T3 .82 rear (TS optional) from March 25th will be more then capable of 450whp with excellent response.

      The boy crashed his Patrol a while ago, so he is now driving his mum's ASX and she is driving my Honda I initially said he could have the Honda to drive around (he's a good kid currently training at the police academy), but, his mum was quick in saying that he "will" take the ASX and she will take the Honda, he was a bit upset with that, he rates the manual Honda more than the automatic ASX (mums taxi), and I'm getting the feeling she enjoys thrashing the manual Honda around In other news, I'm looking at a MX5 NB series 2 on Saturday  I always loved my NB series 1, but after stripping it down because I'm a idiot it wasn't fun cruising or driving around daily, and Jackie refused to drive it, which was an issue if we went out, because her refusing to drive it meant I lost my designated driver if we went to a party, or dinner, or...... basically anywhere where I could get a glow on Yes yes, I may need a new job if I decide to buy https://www.seek.com.au/apprentice-hairdresser-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW Plus giving the Honda to the boy, which is my cunning plan, will give me enough wifey type credits to turn up in another car Meh

      Yeah I've just been checking it out on GTR registry and its the emerald green pearl (DS0) and only 610 made for S1 RS-Four V (if i'm understanding correctly) so I feel obliged to restore the paint to as close to original as possible!
