Sorry to ask a question that’s been done to death, but after doing all the research I could I still can’t come up with a definitive answer about what type of oil I should be using.
This is my first car and I’ve only had it for about a month, so I’m about as uninformed as they come.
-My car is a pretty much stock R33 GTS25-t Sedan.
-It’s done just over 100,000 k and the engine seems to be in pretty decent condition.
-I don’t use it on tracks and rarely ever push it above 4000rpm
-I’m currently using it for 30k trips to & from work 5 days a week, other than that I mostly use it for quick 5-10 minute trips.
-I live in Perth, so the lowest the temp gets to here is about 1 or 2 degrees on a winter morning.
I was about to go and buy some Mobil 1 5w50 but a bit more reading told me that I’m probably better off with Mobil 1 0w40 or 10w30, seeing as I don’t use it on tracks or anything. If recommended I’m willing to fork out a bit more for some Royal Purple or something, but it apparently that would be slight overkill for how I use my car.
Any advice would be awesome. Thanks.
