Can't wait to try it can't justify spending 100 bucks on oil for big name stuff

why not or you just like rebuilds pinch.gif

I strongly doubt that a change in oil to a different brand of fully syntheticc oil will result in a rebuild :whistling:

No but running a cheap oil thats not right for the job in `st place is Paul weather here & run 5w30 pinch.gif

Its only cheap because its on special, United 1 5w50 in normally over $70 per 5ltr pack. Its a full PAO and Ester synthetic, not a hydrocrack mineral oil

United Oil is not a small back yard company, they are Quality assured and API licensed and bigger than most of the brand names you know of in Australia. Also have a complete range of double ester engine and gear oils.

Guys, dont get caught up in brand name hype!

Bringing up a old thread changed to the united 1 oil 5w50 from ash. It's fully synth and so far it has been great I now have good oil pressure on cold starts (70psi approx) and on idle it now is about 40psi instead of 25. So far I highly rate this oil and for half the price of royal purple etc I don't think I'll ever look back. If ash is still doing a bulk deal I will buying in bulk in the very near future.

Once again thanks ash

Does United Oil make any 10w40, if not would it make much difference running 5w50 vs 10w40 ?

I guess that 6x5L for $200 deal is long gone >_<

I think i's a 5W50 and 10W60.

PM Ash he'll tell you if it's still available. I have a few 5L bottles from my buy if the deal isn't still on :thumbsup:

Yes the 5w50 is fine and so is the 10w60

The reason I went for the 5w50 was price and the fact that it doesn't get track work. However 5w50 is fine for track also. Go to www.unitedoil.net.au and use the contact us form and ash will reply

Glad your happy luvpsi

Sorry for the late reply, I have been offline for about a year.

We only have Ultimax 10w60 and United1 5w50 in full PAO/Ester synthetics available in Australia. We do make a wide range internationally but we only bring in these 2.

Also have the United 171 Double Ester 5w40

I do have group 3 Hydrocracked synthetics in 0w20, 5w30, 5w40 and 10w40

I can still offer the old special at $200 for 6 x 5ltr United 1 5w50 PAO/Ester

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
