I tried to find interest in this a while ago and got none - but here goes nothing...

I'm buying some more oil from www.performancelub.com and was just wondering if anyone wants to jump in on the same order to cut down on shipping?

I'd imagine if we'd probably bring it down to about

$10 per order shipping for 2 people

$<7 for 3

$5 for 4

etc

i'm in kangaroo point brissie and am happy to arrange the order and then have people pick up from me or i'll even deliver if you're nearby.

i'm also down the gold coast a bit too, so anyone down there is welcome to jump in.

Doubt your going to feel a performance gain changing oils, the hype is around the protection it is claimed to give your motor

It's all relative, I've always used middle shelf oil under stupid conditions...my engines have always lasted beyond what you'd expect for them. 350,000Kms on a 4AGE living on the redline most of it's life, 160,000kms on an RB25DE+t when that was stolen it wasn't blowing smoke or showing any signs of oil related problems....it must have seemed OK, the dodgy dealer down NSW seemed to think it deserved a rewind back to 35,000kms

I doubt there would be any bennefit over most average to premium oils out there, especially the amount of K's most people here drive....just a brand price premium people pay.

legend dan! let me know how you go

sorry, haven't kept an eye on this thread over the last couple of days.

i checked quantities for qualifying for a group disount with performancelub - 48 quarts...

not sure if we can get that amount of interest.

last time i bought oil i spent abut $160 i think getting 5 quarts of royal purple and 5 of redline. shipping for the extra 5 quarts (10 total) only added about $3 to the original $20 i would've paid for shipping 5 quarts.

i think if you change your oil every ~5000kms, and don't hammer your car every weekend or whatever, you can definitely stick with mid-range oil without really missing out on anything.

i'm using redline for now cos i'm not sure what used to be used in my engine, and i figure a few cycles of redline will help clean the system, and then i'll probably drop back to a cheaper option.

motul 4100 turbolight (its 10w40)

cost... hmm car has been off the road for 9 months so haven't bought recently

but from memory its around $40 (for 4 liters!)

Repco sells the 10w 40(semi synth) for $48 for 5 litres, thats what im using atm

Thinking of changing to 5w 40 (full synthetic), $68 for 5 litres, although not sure if i want to fork out the extra evrey 5000kms.

Im tempted to jump on board this buy for some plugs if possible, wanting some iridiums for the next oil change, not too keen on doing the copper plugs every 5-10000 kms and they seem to have decent prices on them

haha - haven't bought oil in a long time ok

last time i bought i bought a lot and then car was off the road for 9 months

so give me a break :P

ps. +-$25 for 0.946L is a rip IMO :D

$25 - Aikona!

How did you work that out?

Royal Purple works out to be $13.30 per liter vs Autobarn Logan City $18.00 Per liter

Shipping should be around $5 per order so $67.75 for 5 quarts shipped it was $89.99 last time i got it at Autobarn

I would probably use $7 in fuel to get to autobarn anyway!!!

motul turbolight 10w40:

$48 for 5 litres = $9.60/litre

somecrazyexxyoilcosyourcardeservesthebest:

$25 for 0.946 litres = $26.42

so based on the fact that I think motul is awesome last option is exxy imo :P

My Girlfriends family is, and from that suspension tech day you gotta be or possibly zim?

So the $25 one im guessing is the redline?

I am going to buy Royal Purple which which works out to be $5 per liter cheaper than anywhere else I have found

    • 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.
