Servicing Car

[bazzanator]

Hey everyone,

I got a '93 r32 skyline done 150,000 kms and was just wondering what kind of oil to use. Been looking through here about the oil kinds and ive come to conclusion that i need to get fully synthetic oil. Anyone know if this is right or could recommend any brand of oil as I am reletively new to this all.

Depends how much you want to spend max, Motul is probably the best of the full synthetics, though overkill for a tired 150,000km RB20 I would say. Others run Nulon 10w-40 full synth and Castrol Edge full synth with success, Motul 4100 Turbolight is popular with skyline owners, even though it's labelled as a semi-synth (french company) but really qualifies to be a full synth here in Australia.

Well i just got servicing done for my Car few days back .. And if ur thinking about oil Go for the Motul 4100 Turbolight, Its simply amazing i even used it for my track day and its amazing.. Has good value for money to!!

try a few types and see for urself..... and keep in mind for next time..... the oil that turns BLACK the fastest, is the best oil.....

reason being is the two purposes of oil are to lubricate and CLEAN, so the oil that is the blackest if obviously picking up all the carbon n crap and sending it to the filter

yeah Zaver and Moodles2 i have only heard good things about motul 4100 turbolight.

TRB-001 - ill keep that in mind and try it out and have a look at it when i service it next.

Thanks for your help guys

Royal purple is pretty good as well, worth a try.

Oil that turns black the quickest is the worst oil money can buy.   Cheap oil has less and cheaper detergents that deteriorate the oil quicker.

Put cheap oil in your car and it will be black within 2 weeks, buy decent oil and the detergents which protect the oil from blackening(deteriorating) are far superior and will keep your oil cleaner for longer.   The statement oils aint oils wasnt a salesman line.  You get what u pay for.  Oil purpose is also to cool
