Royal Purple Hps Vs Motul 8100 X-Cess

[AzN]

I need some advice on which oil to use for my R33 GTR.

The car is stock standard apart from the exhaust and I currently use Motul 8100 X-Cess 5w40. http://www.motul.com/nz/en/products/52

It costs $100 NZD here for 5L of X-Cess.

I was wondering if the Royal Purple HPS 10w40 http://royalpurple.com/motor-oil-hps.html would be a good alternative instead of the Motul because I could get 5L for $60 NZD rather then $100 NZD for the Motul oil.

I have always used the Motul 8100 excess (over 5 years now) with no problems, that said it only costs about $75 over here.

I've always waited till Repco do their motul 20% off and grabbed X-Cess for $65 (AUD) for 5L (I haven't done this in awhile as I've still got plenty of GW Suigi S 6000 to use up). From what I can tell about that particular RP product that it might just be a semi-synth (comparable to Motul 4100 Turbolight).. as far as I know only the RP XPR racing oil is fully synthetic (which would be comparable to X-Cess).

That being said there is absolutely nothing wrong with a good semi-synth on a street-only driven skyline, as long as it's changed every 6 months or 5000km.

I do like 8100. Haven't tried it in the gtr yet but my previous car loved it. Engine noise was decreased, car revved better, ran smooth.

I will be trying it on my next oil change .

I only use Royal Purple in my car. Take my car to the track on a semi regular basis and haven't spun a bearing yet

I went into my local Repco today for a oil filter and noticed there was no Motul engine oils at all, don't think I saw anything Motul at all.

Using Motul 8100 x-cess since purchasing my ride. il definately stick to motul 8100

Another +1 for 8100 X-Cess. Been using it for a few years now, changed to Castrol Edge when I couldnt find any 8100 around where I live but found my oil pressure was to high on cold starts, 8100 is much better

Im sure either will be fine.. i currently use RP

but looking for a cheaper alternative since i will be overfilling my sump to 6L, ill now need to buy another bottle

Does Motul come in 1L bottles?

[Hadouken]

Yep they do

[GTR_JOEY]

shibbyyy... wheres the easiest best place to buy it?

autobahn, repco....?

[Hadouken]

I've personally found autobarn to be the best. Supercheap is a no go.

[GTR_JOEY]

What do you guys think about Castrol Edge titanium 5w-40?

Supercheap sells them here for $63.
