Guys I was wondering what motor oil some of you use in your GTR's and perhaps what you could recommend for a GTR that doesn't see any track work.

I normally use the Mobile Super Synthetic, but remembered some of you use the Motul stuff... which of the Motul oils should I use considering I don't do any track work?

Oh.. and is there any difference in oild filters? or just the standard RYCO stuff? I can't find the thread, but someone was using some brand other than RYCO and said it seemed much better.

I have used Mobil 1 5W-50 ever since the engine was built (10,000kms ago), seems to be ok but the lifters are noisier than most of gtr's ive heard so might change soon.

I used to usually use a Valvoline oil filter, but got a Ryco this time and it seems to hold oil pressure a bit better (with the Valvoline filter it would drop pretty low on idle).

Normally just strain the old oil through a stocking and reuse it.  

When it gets too thick to go through the funnel, I replace it with Big W Super - $10 for 4 litres.

Too hard and messy to get to the oil filter on a GTR, so don't replace it.

:) Thats some funny shit.

AFAIK, its what Nismo use.

meshmesh, if it has a W rating, it has been tested to flow at 0degC. The W means its suitable for use in winter. The winter viscosity is tested differently than the weight. It is a little thicker than say Mobil 1, which is like water. The winter testing involves seeing how much oil will flow throught a specific sized hole at 0 deg. Basically how well the oil pours.

The weight of the oil (50 in this case) is tested at 100deg celcius. The higher the number the thicker the oil at that temp.

Ronin 09, I know what you mean, sort of a honey smell:)

Snappy google search turned up this

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
