im gonna dump and replace my engine and gearbox oil in about two weeks, and wondering what a good oil to use is, and if anyone knows how much they hold to put back in so i dont over fill cheers

An R33 GTS-t will take 5litres of engine oil. Mobil 1 is good stuff, even if somewhat expensive.

just bought redline shockproof bluelight gear box oil been recommended by so many people to put this in give it a try this weekend.

it was $120 for 4 litres

shockproof lightweight is excellent for gear boxes.

My fave for engine is motul 300v 15W50, the turbolite 8000 is good too. I havent seen any over here. It is a bit thicker than mobil 1, which is an advantage with RB25 as it does tend to get a bit of blow by. It also has a very strong detergent action.

300V is around $86 for 5 litres.

Yeah the RL LWSP is awesome in gearboxes.

Had it in the r33 and the rex - made a big difference.

Hi Paul

What about the oil company that sponsors SAU? And is good enough for BMW/AUDI/MERCEDES BENZ in Germany?

This particular oil company also supplies oil to Australias Fastest/Most Powerfull Drag car, Approx 8000hp!

Their products are also used in all Porsche Carrera Cup cars. Their 0w/20 Product is used in several V8 supercars!
