Oil And Filter M35

[Daleo]

i think i am going to go with

Castrol SLX Professional

Longlife III

Powerflow 5W-30

Its what my VW use on all their Golfs including the GTI and on all modern Audi's now too.. One oil is nice for both cars too means i can always use the excess

What are the specs on this oil? i.e. cost, grade (full or semi synth) availability?

I have heard you can get a 20L drum from repco for about $260 ($13 per litre)

I asked VW and they want $91 for 5L.

Though gonna do some homework today for a good price.

If you are running the Nismo oil filter, it should state on the side of the box that it is used for M35 and S15 among others.

Seems you answered your own question??

which of these use a larger filter?

anyone know the model??

[iamhe77]

All those engines use the same oil filter... hence being in the same list.

Why do you need a larger filter? Just get one with a GOOD synthetic filter medium.

[zei20l]

different sized filters affect oil pressure. not something you want to be playing with!

bigger doesnt always mean better.

[Sunkist]

yeh everyone yelled at me so i just went with the stock one lol

[zei20l]

can i join them?

WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE ANY OTHER OIL FILTER, THE FACTORY ONE IS FINE

Works on several levels...
