HPR30 Too thick for RB20DET?

[doridori32]

Before i go putting in new oil in the R32, would you say HPR30 is too thick for such a small capicity engine?

How is the oil pressure with this oil once it is warm,i noticed with thinner oil from Japan, it has low oil pressure.

Which oil from Penrite do you use?

i use HPR10 in my RB20DET

its 10w50 which is perfect as far as i'm concerned...

on a turbocharged engine i was of the understanding that you don't want the oil to be too thick...

cheers,

Warren.

I Use Motul 4100 Turbolight, which is 10w40. It seems to be one of the most common oils run by skyliners

I use Penzoil Synthetic 5W-50. Works for me......

F.Y.I. The NISSAN Factory recommended oil is 7.5W-30 ( but that was for the GT-R at in 1992 ). In my old HR31 I tried a straight 30W Oil and I wouldn't suggest it. My 2 cents

I have used Penrite HPR30 in my skyline (R32 gts-t- RB20DET)the last couple of oil changes now, and I'm being fair generous between changes, as in at leat six months. I don't drive it overly hard, or for long periods of time, but it seems to be holding up fine. Oil pressure ( on the std guage in the dash) is just below the first mark at idle, ( Although I know these guages are NOT reliable) nonetheless there is pressure. I can't justify putting oil in that pours like water.
