fuch's mobil etc any FULLY SYNTHETIC oil is ok

[toddlls]

Oil is like PS3 games, every1 has a favourite, How I chose was to read as much as I could from testers, and looked at what race teams in Japan were using too.

As long as the oil is fully synthetic, you should be ok.

Just for the record I use Motul 8100 5W 40

Live on Gold Coast, temp gets to nearly 40 in summer and 0 in winter as I live in a valley. Its good stuff, bit pricey but worth it.

Just make sure Oil & Filter are changed every 5000k's-thats the true secret

i use olive oil...

but i run MOTUL in my drifter and its holds up proper good, always have oil all through engine bay when catch can gets full and squirts everywhere

[R33_NICK]

cars been running on castrol edges 10w-60 for awhile. was thinking about Motuls

[wellzy]

valvoline synpower 5-40 or 10-50 works sweet... best around

[uncouth32]

mobile 1 0 - 40 here =)

Is it a stock engine or has it been built?

[Ry34]

mines coming up soon too.. so I need to know what oil and oil filter to buy (stock engine ~ 50,000km)

[NA_Goodness]

Z145a oil filter, preferably Ryco.

I use semi-synthetic Magnatech oil because I can get it very cheap from work. However I will be using fully synthetic for my next car, whenever I get it.

i use motul 300v.

Dude you're rich

Motul 8100 5W40 here.

You need 145A oil filter if your car was manufactured before 11/98. If you was after that you need Z442. They're both thread compatible but the Z442 is smaller and has finer filtration.

i used Mobil Fully Synthetic 5w30 b4 was good but then i changed to the best Motul 300v Chrono 10w30 even better

if your car hasnt been run on fully synthetic for the last 100000kms or something along those lines, going fully synthetic wont really make too much of a difference now. Remember when half of these cars came out, fully synthetic oil wasnt out yet. I use castrol 5-30 fully synthetic which works for me, but every car is different and wether your engine is worked or not.

[Howie]

I was reading something in Import Tuner magazine, talking about how this really popular engine building in the states looks after his race cars and his daily driver (a camaro). He was saying that shell full synthetic removes about 60% deposits from old motors in the first oil change. So it definately makes a difference even if you haven't run synthetic for it's entire engine life.

If you have a built motor then use whatever your engine builder told you to use

ouchies,

well in my R33 GST-T i used,

Semi-synthetic Oils 'cause its a waste to throw hundreds in when your dumping it out every 5thou kms'

7.5/30 winter 'cooler weather, so wont loose its velocity as bad as summer

10/40 summer 'cause oil will be hotter, so need something that will maintain itself'

personally i found 7.5/30 too noisey in summer... because its so thin and is like piss water when hot...

and considering its an older car/engine (km's)... if its to thin it can get past the oil ring n you burn a little, not that you should notice it.

[Mr_GaZZa]
