R32 Engine Oil

[_dave_]

is it really worth the money to get a genuine nissan oil?

what does everyone else use? ive heard the factory rating is 7.5w30?

ive just bought a pennzoil semi syn 5w30 to flush the motor, as ive just imported it and want to clean it out, but after this what does everyone recommend?

remember 'oils aint oils' and everyone probably uses something different..but i really do want the best for this motor.

cheers ppl. dave

i use extra virgin olive oil.....

lol,nah i use mobile 1 fully syn. it does the job and i think its around "$70 - $75" for a 5L bottle.

isnt that 5w50?

ie way too thick?

[NathR32]

I use Motul Turbolight 10W40.

And no 5W50 isn't too thick.

I recently imported also, and the first thing I did was change the engine oil... The motul turbolight 10w40 seems to be very popular amongst SAUers so I chucked that in. The engine seems to be running well as far as I can tell.

I'm just wondering, what's the theory behind flushing the engine out and using a differnt weighted oil accordingly?

well ill be driving it pretty hard, so from what ive concluded so far ill be looking at the mobil 1 or this motul stuff.

where can i get that? ive never seen it around much.. and how much is it?

would the 5w30 mobil 1 be a better option to the thicker stuff?

and while on the topic, whats the best stuff for my 5 speed and stock LSD?...

[MANWHORE]

I use motul 8100 5 w 40. Nice oil. No complaints.

who sells this stuff?

[kralster]

Go to their website for dealer locations. www.redlineoil.com.au

I use redline MTL in the gearbox and redline 75W90 Gear oil in the diff of my r34. Alot of people tend to use the shockproof versions of these oils but my car is a daily driver and i prefer the drivability of these 2.

And i use motul 10W10 tubolight in the engine.

[someonestolecc]

Any repco will sell that stuff.

I use motul 8100 5/40 -$55 or $60 i think.

Castrol 10/50 and mobil 1 people also use.

When doing my last change I had elf excellium 5/40 put in. I trust that too.

gearbox - redline mt90

[TokyoTaxi]

Engine: Pennzoil Full Synthetic 5W-50. Changes every 5K + Filter.

G/Box: Redline Shockproof Lightweight. Change @ every Clutch change

Diff: Castrol LSX 90 (?). Change every 40K

Coolant: Tectalloy 60 or 90 (?). Change every 40K

Brake Fluid: Motul RBF. Change every 10K

Hope that helps

does anyone have any comments on penrite?

i use it at the moment in my other car, obviously doesnt compare, but its been the best so far for that car so i was considering

HPR5 = 5w40 semi synthetic?

sounds about the mark to me.. ill be getting redline oils for my diff and box.

coolant ill use tectaloy 100plus

[GM_GTR]

I used Elf synthetic then switched to motul 8100 for a while, now back on Elf again
