Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest place for Motul 6100?

I'm currently running Royal Purple, but since converting to E85 figured I'd use cheaper stuff and just increase the change interval.

Thanks.

You should be using oils that are e85 compatible, otherwise the ethanol can dilute your oil and thin it out.

Only one that I know is e85 compatible is Penrite 10 Tenths range. Im sure Royal purple would have something suitable as well but I havent really had a good look around. Atm I'm using the Penrite stuff in mine :)

Yeah that why I was going to increase the interval. I'm pretty sure I read on another thread that a Motul said 6100 was ok (at first reps were saying none of their products were, especially 300v)

RP guarantee compatibility. Maybe I'll just downgrade from XPR to their normal stuff. I'll also look into Penrite.

Thanks guys

So is that Racing 10w40 or do you go 15w50 to allow for some dilution/age of car?

As Steve said, don't under estimate the Nulon range...they do a 6 litre bottle as well.

As far as E85 friendly oils go, it really depends on how tired your engine is.

If you have a tight motor with negligent blow-by, it's not an issue....however, if you do get a lot of blow-by, no oil is safe against E85.....or against any other fuel for that matter.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
