but im not talking about million dollar oils at oil, ok I have motul in my skyline, 70$ for 5l its hardly cheap but there are more expensive, it seems to me to be a fairly well proven oil for turbo imports so I think its worth it, i ws using mobil one before which was just as expensive anyway and Im thinking of changing to fuchs cause its half the price but if I put it in and it doesnt feel right I will change back..
But my main experience comes from 400,000kms in my old ute. I tried lots of different oils had had mixed luck in the end my favourite was RSOL from reco, 20 bucks for 6l with a free filter it was damn good value. Shell helix I used a few times and it was really good. Engine felt smoother than the RSOL for sure but it was only justifiable when on sale. Castrol magnatec was rubbish, it felt ordinary and burnt out within weeks I was amazed when I checked the oil and there was none there. Most other stuff like mobil and penrite was always good. I didnt bother putting expensive oils in it.
At the end of the day i want a mixture of quality, value and it has to feel right when I drive it..
Saying how it feels is irrelevant is like buying a car from without test driving it Because the brochure looks good
