i got sougi s6000 for 65 bucks at auto barn today in warners bay newcastle. just go in and say i can get sougi s6000 from spares planet for 65 bucks. else if you live in sydney go there and get it. i bought 2 bottles to give it a go

Can anyone see any dramas buying / running this product. Parallel import from the USA. Does it make any difference?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mobil-1-Engine-Oil-...=item27aff2f3e1

Autobarn etc pricing is $95 for 5l and this stuff is $65 (plus freight) for 5.68l. The only (non technical) down side I can see is the packaging not being in litres to slightly harder to know what's gone in - I'm really scratching for problems now....

Advice?

I just put in the sougi s5000 this arvo, didn't change the filter though, was too lazy, will change the filter next service..

With the previous oil, when i ran the car, it didn't sound good, revving above 5.5krpm sounded rough..

With the new oil, i did some revving in neutral, nice and smooth, i like it, for under 50bucks, its a damn good oil, and at this price, i can change it every 4000kms. Driving around felt nice and smooth, but the exhaust was a tad louder...

LOL freighting a single bottle of oil from the USA is going to cost like $100

edit: oh wait it is local, in that case I cant see any issues.

looks dodgy as hell that listing on ebay! looks like the inside of a shipping container

probably is, but how else does the oil get here?

Worry not as in the end I bought from performancelub.com. Same product and pretty much the same price, just a more forum-known seller. Plenty of feedback on the eBay seller too though.

Is there any reason as to why this would not be suitable for a car? It looks like it's aimed at motorcycles, but it isn't specifically for wet clutch or integrated gearbox....just a 4-stroke. It's 10w40, so it would be great as I'm after a 10w40 oil. Thoughts?

Most bikes have a wet clutch, what this means is the clutch shares the engine oil. Bike oils don't have any friction modifiers in them, otherwise if you put normal car oil in the clutch would be too slippery and never grip.

Wouldn't have anything to do with him putting two zillion PSI through it ?? nah that wouldn't count :banana:

Changed my oil in my 08 wrx (35,000ks). Used motul 300v 5w30 power racing, $60 for 2 litres (lucky my car only uses 4, unlike the gtr which used close to 6 with alll the external lines and coolers, cans etc). Very happy with the results. The car seems to rev easier, sound quiter and accelerate smoother. Who would have thought such a difference could have come from using a better oil. To be fair though, the Subaru service centre were using a 5w30 semi castrol, so one would expect such a difference.

Does anyone know the current state of GW and Sougi? I havn't posted here in quite a few months and was wondering if anything had changed, or if they went through with their plan to stop production. Birds? Galois? you guys are still here I hope :P

Hey there,

just offering some feedback as i recently purchased some Redline ATF from this guys and it's legit, for the same price as Harold's @ performancelub.com

plus he also stocks 1 Gallon variants of the entire Redline Range as performancelub.com only offers the 1L quart bottles

I chose to pick up from him, but shipping is under $10 up to 25kg, so for NSWelshmen its great if u want to save money by picking up rather than getting it posted

he's a decent guy, service and price was good so its hard to choose other wise if you're after Redline, Mobil or Shell fluids. He also stocks Mobil oil filters and NGK sparkplugs

Here are his details,

    • 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.
