Hey guys. I've never changed oil on a turbo or perfomance car ever.

Was wondering is it the same as any other normal car?

Would yo use an oil flush let it run then drain it all out? Or would that not be advisable? A bit worried as I'm running a ball bearing turbo? Would this pose any problems?

From memory:

Nissan recommend 7.5w-30 (in JAPAN) on new engines. Probably to help fuel consumption.

I'd go with 5w-40 (Shell Ultra or Fuchs or Motul if you can afford it)

NISMO recommend 10w-60 for track work.

The RB25DET is 12 years old, not rebuilt and ~150,000km old. The SR20DET is 13 years old, not rebuilt and ~90,000km old. Neither blow smoke. Both have excellent compression and make the power I'd be expecting from them.I just find the thinner oils break down far quicker and end up thin and watery by the next oil change. The slightly thicker oil gives me a quieter engine and I drain almost exactly what I put into them out at the next oil change. A good number of 10W40 oils contain a lot of friction modifiers to achieve the desired viscosity, they're not fantastic for the engine.

Yeah the oil seems thin when it comes out cause it is warm.

If it is much thinner then it is diluted with a LOT of fuel - doubtful.

I've tested viscosity of a few oils new and used from my car after 7500km and there is a bees dick in them. Used oils are slightly thinner - a few percent which was probably fuel.

FWIW viscosity at 99°C in Cst

crankcase oil SAE 20 >>>>> 5.7-9.6

crankcase oil SAE 30 >>>>> 9.6-12.9

crankcase oil SAE 40 >>>>> 12.9-16.8

crankcase oil SAE 50 >>>>> 16.8-22.7

Fill til it comes out the filler plug...that's what it's there for. For obvious reasons you won't be able to put any more in!!!

laugh it up when i worked at ford an apprentice did just this!

fill it up you said aye

he filled it alright bout 25litres of oil i think in an xt falcon

:blink:

I'm surprised to hear so much variation here. My R33 GTR took 4 litres, mabe a bit over, but nowhere near 5L. Do they all have different sumps? Is there a benefit to overfilling it some?

I'm using Royal Purple 10W40

Sorry about the multiple posts, I kept getting an error message.

ive used 2 different oils now, motul 4100? turbolight 10 40 and before that used to use mobil 1 5-50

both only used 3.5L (not even close to 4)

does this include a filter change?? i always get just under 5 in and its on the full line of the dip stick. maybe 200ml left in the bottle. im slowly filling one bottle with all the left overs of other changes :nyaanyaa:

If you do oil filter change, drain the sump very well and pour 5L of new engine oil in. Make sure the engine is warm to allow gunk to all come out before draining.

was just fine, but i havent seen any difference since using turbolight .. and its much cheaper

3.5 liters in an rb?

doing it wrong

by the book it's like 4.7l or something

just put 5 liters in, saves wasting it and isn't going to hurt your car at all. it will help stop oil starvation if you drive around the streets like a mad flamin mongrel

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
