In passing I have read on US-UK forums that with E85 boost pressures have all gone through the roof and unless you are running a racing oil with loads of zinc and phosphorous then you will find that 2bar on a bush bearing turbo will end up with poor lifespan of the turbo.

Since moving to Melb 8 years ago I have always run Castrol Edge but am tempted to revert back to Mobil 1 Racing...depsite it being a head fark to source

There was something I read somewhere that they stripped the turbos after heavy dyno running and holding under heavy load in top gear and the oils that are full of fluff for highway emmissions and economy, even the premium street oils resulted in heavy fouling around the bearing and discolouration of the bearings. The turbos didnt fail...just said they were showing all the signs of increased wear after only some rather sever dyno pulls and loading.

i also run this with my oil.. mainly cause i get it cheap and ive heard some fantastic things from it.

have been running my stock bottom end RB30e with 26 head and supporting mods pushing 400 rwkw for a year now, its a competition drift car so loads of sustained rpm. I had the motor out recently to do rear main and few other seals and i pulled the sump off to chuck a washer in the stock oil pump spring to bump the pressure up a bit and while i was at it i checked a couple of bearings. they were mirror finish perfect pretty much so i figure the oil + additive must be doing something right!

i dont know the exact science behind it but its a anti friction compound with a host of other things to prevent wear under demanding conditions. maybe someone else can shed some light?

im in no way endorsed by the company... just sharing my experiences with the product

Short of time ATM but if you do lots of net research , who sleeps at night anyway , the story looks like this .

The GREEN slimes of this world are paranoid that good anti wear additives ie ZDDP end up coating and killing cat converters over time so these are slowly being reduced in oils intended for "Modern Engines" so be wary when you see this on oil containers .

Long short , diesel engines because of their high torque low rev nature create very high loadings on their bearings and gudgeon pins etc so they need good anti wear additives . When you look into diesel specific oils they appear to have lots of what we need and it doesn't necessarily have to be mega expensive like Ripco bought Mobil 1 .

Remember how many Yank sites have been praising things like shell Rotella T6 5W40 ? Mobil and others make similar kinds of things and whilst not $20 cheap it aint 70 - 100 either . Means you can afford to change it more often .

Bacon force can't know whats in your sump and I wouldn't think the RTA/EPA is likely to sample it either .

Do some reading on (I think) CJ4 and CI4 rated oils and don't be afraid if it leads you to a diseasel spec oil . I'm sure most of you lie awake at night stressing about your cat ...

I did see it recently but didn't get time to search for a product called ZDDPlus . Worth a look .

Funny you say about additives as not many people use them but i run the Morey's Oil Stabilizer. Best thing since sliced bread!

I ran the liqui moly and it blew the seals in my 3037 within 10mins or running it. Didnt get the car out of the driveway

Have a read of this thread because it starts out with GM supposedly debunking the myths of flat tappet cams and ZDDP . MAKE sure you read it ALL because a group of open minded engineers and a group of Porsche people tell the truth about the GM mugs rubbish spiel .

http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1049812

My experience with oils containing higher levels of ZDDP is that the Mobil 1 4T racing bike oils work well but you get a little more valve train noise in a 4G63T and to a slight degree in an RB25 . The mileages on these engines is 140K and 115K .

ATM I need more oil so I'm off to GL Lubricants to stock up on more Shell Rotella T6 5w40 . I've used it with no issues at all and it leads to a quieter valve train which can't be a bad thing .

Take note of the content of the above mentioned thread re detergent oils and how far back some urban myths about oil go .

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
