MrRx7s3 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I never said anything bad about NGK it's the only brand I'd use to be honest, just saying that iridiums aren't what they all claim them to be, I'm yet to see a set that actually last their 100000 kms as they all state. Anyways back on topic before the admins kick my bum, I'm gonna try the Penrite Racing 10 and I will post how I go with it and what I think about it compared to Royal Purple, thanks.

Missileman Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Also, just curious as to what drain plug/washers you guys use? Magnetic or OEM. Just Jap is out of stock, and my local Nissan dealer is my last resort. Where else can I source these (OEM plug+washers)? Part No.? last time I bought washers was from here.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160648840409?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22458-the-goods-on-oils/page/151/#findComment-7165989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be copper, long as its a crush type. Copper has a bonus though, as you can anneal it in a pinch.

niZmO_Man Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'd personally run Premium 5 engine oil (just bought a bottle yesterday for $70, bit hard to find these days, Racing 10 and 15 are everywhere though).

Yeah I went and bought HPR 15. So Premium 5 - 5w40 full synthetic? Those other fluids I mentioned would be fine?

scotty nm35 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 May as well run gearbox oil, at least then you can use it for both engine and box. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/22458-the-goods-on-oils/page/151/#findComment-7168124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinks Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 See, so many people recommend different viscosity & weights.. I keep changing my mind.... 5W40 is the perfect oil for the street. It gives you free-flowing oil when cold, and enough viscosity to handle a bit of load (street/enthusiast driving). You cannot possibly need a 50 or 60 weight oil for the street, they are too thick. On the track, a 50 or 60 weight will act as cheap insurance for your motor in case you do several hard laps on a modified motor and your oil temps get high. Oil gets thinner when it gets hot, and a thicker oil will maintain lubrication under these adverse conditions. Really you should be running an oil cooler if your oil gets this hot, but it's cheap insurance.

Missileman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I've been running 15w-50 Penrite HPR Diesel in my (street driven) RB20 all summer, but will probably switch the 10W-40 in the winter. Have absolutely no complaints about the 15W-50, slight bump in pressure and the motor runs very quiet, it revs and spools the same as the lighter oils.

ZRBE Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm just gonna put in this Penrite HPR 15 5w40 full synthetic.. Also herd Redline shockproof makes a noisey diff a little quieter?

niZmO_Man Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 5w60 is a bit thick for a street car imho. I'd stick to 10w40-10w50 On a 200,000+km engine? I used SIN 5 for ~one year on my GT-R with no issues, engine became slightly quieter compared to 10W-50 (HPR10 one service only, ~9,000km). I service my cars every 10,000km, and rather have the GT-R running 50 (hot) oil than a 40 (even though Racing 10 worked fine on track). It's more for my peace of mind knowing an old motor is running a slightly thicker oil when temps are hitting 100°C , although there may not be much difference between 50 and 60. 40 I feel is a bit too thin, especially for summer.

To be honest, I doubt you'll notice anything different between HPR5 and Premium 5 or Racing 10. FYI HPR15 is 15W60, which is what I use in my R31 You can buy an additive which apparently quietens the diff, think it's made by Nulon, can't say for sure.
