Another 1ltr should cover it.

Thanks Oilman !

There you have it ! The very reasons why to stay away from the Snake oil venders and not get sucked in to the addatives being sold. Stay with a good quallity oil from the big oil companies and you will get quality every time and not wreck your car or produce health hazards at the same time. If your so concerned then change your oil more often but again with in reason cause you can waste money there too.

oilman · 27th August 2009, 10:40 PM

Indeed monstergt-r, no substitute for quality oil and regular changes.

Cheers

Mr Opioils which recommendation for a gt-r running 400hp running on italian streets (our temperatures are different from Uk ones). I sometimes use the car to go fast on the street (as you say loud pedal or something like that

From reading what oilman have said. I would use Titan 10w-50 ester oil, if you push your car from time to time.

I would still go for a 5w-40. Okay, it's warmer in Italy, but not a massive amount and a good 5w-40 is fine up to 130C on average.

5w-40, 5w-40 oil, 5w40, 5w/40

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good, cheaper alternatives.

luchjeg6 · 27th February 2011, 04:51 PM

which will be the difference on putting on a 300v 10w40 as Sumo adviced me?

oilman · 27th February 2011, 06:23 PM

Not much, the only difference is teh cold crank viscosity 5w and 10w. The 5w this more fluid at cold temps but both are OK for UK climate.

Cheers

luchjeg6 · 27th February 2011, 06:25 PM

Why do you think they say is better?

oilman · 27th February 2011, 09:12 PM

Not sure, did they give a reason? It is neither better nor worse. Just different,. Depends on what the car is being used for.

Cheers

R32 Combat · 27th February 2011, 09:59 PM

Do you recommend a different oil for LPG RB engines?

oilman · 28th February 2011, 11:44 AM

No, they run a tiny bit warmer, but not a lot, so I'd go for the same oil

Guricha · 21st April 2011, 07:51 PM

Guys does anybody have any experience with REDLINE oil ? how good they are? some guys offered them to me like really really good oil? what you think?

oilman · 22nd April 2011, 11:32 AM

Yes they are very, very good. Expensive here in the UK as it has to be imported. Make sure you use the correct one for your application.

Cheers

Thanks mate, what you mean ? am going to use 5w50 or maximum 10w60, thanks for advice again

oilman · 22nd April 2011, 02:49 PM

Unless your car is heavily modified, the Redline 5w-40 would be the best choice, otherwise a 10w-50 if it's available to you.

Cheers

Hi mister oil guru....i'm running a rock oil 5w30 in my gtr running 480hp...as your aware modern ois have reduced or even removed
zddp's from oils...the question i would like to ask is would my engine benefit from adding some zddp's
to the oil at my next change.......

R32 Combat · 4th September 2011, 08:11 PM

What happens if you make a 50/50 mix of 2 oils that are a 10/30 and a 5/30?
Would I have a 7.5/30?

ZDDPs are only reduced in API SM spec oils.

I would go for something a bit thicker and better quality than you are currently using.

5w-40 engine oil | 5w40 oil

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. Those all have high ZDDP levels.

Cheers
