Sorry, I have the car for 1 week.
I think that it is around 95 or how do I check that?

If you have an oil temp gauge it should tell you.

I would go for something like the Silkolene Pro S 10w-50, ideal for both road and track Silkolene PRO S 10W-50 Ester Synthetic Oil For High Performance Engines

Cheers

not the Motul 300V

oilman · 9th March 2009, 06:02 PM

You could do but it's more for track use and needs frequent changes when used on the road.

hi,

im the new owner of a '90 R32 GTR, running std apart from Apexi intakes and unknown exhaust (am swappin that 4 Apexi N1 though end of the month) and twin plate clutch.

not sure what temps im afraid :/ not really checked. i use it as wkend toy so no real hard use, jus the odd burst here n there, may consider the odd trackday this year. im replacing engine, gearbox, diff and HICAS oils as part of a service.

what do u recommend?

how often do i change? (if not used on track, jus normal road use. if used on track id change afterwards anyway)

how much do i need?

cheers matey

5w-40 synthetic for the engine, most popular is the ester based Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 synthetic here Silkolene PRO S 5W-40 Ester Synthetic Oil For High Performance Engines

For the gearbopx a 75w-90, Motul Gear300, Silkolene Syn5, Mobil SHC all worth a look 75w-90 Gear oil

The hicas I think takes an atf fluid.

Cheers

erol20 · 16th March 2009, 06:55 PM

cheers matey

im assuming that i use the same as the gearbox, in my diff?

oilman · 17th March 2009, 09:13 AM

In the diff you will need a diff oil, Silkolene Syn5 75w-90 is a good one.

Cheers

Hey guys, when I bought my GTR R32 was wondering too what kind of oil to put cuz I wanted to make a oil change asap. I've been told by a skyline mechanic who is also a 550hp GTR owner that 10W-30 synthetic is fine especially for summer because its not to liquid and not to consistent. I'm reading comments and look like no ones using 10w-30 so just want to no is it good or not. PS using the car for road and sometimes the drag for fun.

oilman · 6th April 2009, 10:51 AM

Should be fine, do you know what brand 10w-30?

Cheers

Guy

matsR32 · 7th April 2009, 09:52 PM

the brand is Pennzoil platinum full synthetic 10w-30

oilman · 7th April 2009, 10:09 PM

Not too familair with it, keep to regular changes and all will be good.

Cheers

Guy
