Hi! I have a 1998 R34 Sedan N/A and its due for a minor service. Previously done my major (100,000KM)

The last time i used Motul 4100 Turbolight.

Should i use this oil again? or should i go to like ( I ASSUME ITS BETTER ) Motul 300V?

Also how do i know which oil to buy? its like that 10W40 thing. I have no clue what to buy?

Also anyone know what else i should change in this minor service?

Any Help will be grateful.

300V is one of the best you can get, but costs about $150 to do a oil change.

It's a lazy N/A engine, nothing special, just stick with Turbolight or any other decent 10w40 semi-synth (example: not castrol, or anything that costs less than $30 for 5litres)

minor service = oil and oil filter (wen fitting the new filter, apply some oil to the oring and make it hand tight)

full check over

check brakes, suspension and fluid levels....

check all lights

make sure u got good tyres and inflated to 34ish psi.... and if ur wipers are streaky, replace the rubbers!

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
