what problems did the last batch of redline shockproof have exactly? i just put it in my gearbox today.

would this be best done through email or snail mail?

Using the sougi oil, should I still be changing eveything 5000km's? When I bought it earlier today the bloke I got it from seemed to think that I could easily leave it for 10,000kms before changing it. I dot know how performance car savvy he was though.

If there's anyone in Perth looking for sougi there's a place in malaga that I just got a bottle from called Leader Oils. I can give out their number and address if people were interested. They did an awesome price for me and are friendly so I'd recommend them.

ok, thanks Galois also keen to know this.

ok, thanks for clearing that up i just found a place that sells sougi in perth (close to my area as well!) so i will be picking up a 5L bottle of that tomorrow morning i hope it's as good as you all say it is!

thanks mate, yeah i definitely will. also agree with your comments on the size the 300v comes in. it seems pointless to me that they sell it in a 4L bottle, im guessing the majority of cars would need more than this to be filled. as if the oil doesnt cost enough as it is, they make you buy a second bottle, probably for more $/L, and you have spare left over afterwards.

hahaha, i just want to protect my engine as well as i can i think ill go with the 8100 then. it sounds like a good oil from the comments of everyone in this thread. a 5w would protect my engine better than a 10w at start-up anyway wouldn't it? i'd still be keen on trying out sougi though if its almost inline with motul 300v quality wise for a smidge of the price. anyone in perth know where i can pick up a bottle??

Before reading this thread i really had no idea what oil to use in my r33 gts-t as its the first performance car i've owned and im still very much in the learning process about most things to do with it haha. but after reading through i'd say i have a pretty good understanding of oil viscosity and how different oils can effect the engine. coming up to the first oil change i have to do, i've decided a 10w40 oil is probably the best oil to use for my car. as i said its an r33 gts-t with basic bolt on mods making about 250-260rwhp. it's used as my daily doing around 300-400km's a week, and given a bit of a boot every now and then, and its got about 120,000km's on the clock. i headed to repco in my area to pick up a bottle of motul 300v but decided against it after seeing it was going to cost me over $100 for 4L >.< i then turned to 8100, but saw it only came in a 5w40 bottle and didnt know whether this would be ok for my engine. so i wanted your opinions on whether getting a 5w40 oil would still be ok for my car? im not 100% sure how the car was treated before i bought it, and since the engine has done 120,000km's i thought a 10w40 would be the safer choice. however ive seen a few people on here say that a 5w40 would still be ok for a daily driven car, i'm just concerned about a cold weight of 5 being too thin for the age and mileage of my car. i was also thinking that because it is now coming into winter with slightly colder temperatures, that a 5w40 would be fine as long as i use a 10w40 during summer?? i dont know how much of an effect our seasons here in perth would have on oil though im also curious if anyone here knows where there is a Sougi distributor in perth preferably NOR?? from the comments on here it sounds like an awesome oil for a great price, and considering im a uni student id love to be able to utilise this while its still available thanks in advance! *edit* i just read the last few posts about 5w40 vs 10w40 oils while i was writing my reply to this thread.. should i not use motul 8100 then since its a 5w40?

looks alright.. but yeah wouldnt go alpine either tbh

how much would they go for second hand?

+1 for bad earth lol. but yeah, good luck finding the problem man

i think... i may throw up

i think i will definitely be purchasing this lol

and get it inspected by someone that you trust at a WORKSHOP!! dont just get someone like RAC to come out to the vehicle. i cant stress this enough. i almost bought a car which had a fair bit of body and chassis done to it, which i wouldnt have known about without getting it checked at a workshop.
