If you want the very best, NEO synthetic oil is the go. It's the only oil the public can buy which is derived from a fully synthetic diester. Their gear oil is specified by Hewland. Club racers & motorsport pro's use this stuff. Amsoil is also very good. It used to be derived from a full synthetic diester, but they changed the recipe. Then you've got your regular oil companies (Shell, Castrol, Mobil etc).

Nissan specify 7.5w-50 or 40 (can't remember which) in the Jap owner manual. Don't use cheap sh1t oil...

NEO is awesome stuff, if you've got plenty of $$$ ~$175 for 5L :eek:

Any of the good quality synthetics are fine, ie Castrol R, Mobil 1, Shell Helix Ultra & so on. Most importantly change oil & filter every 5k. If you do track days etc probably worth doing changes more often.

I use Motul 300V CHRONO 10W/40 . I just did an oil change, 5L cost me $85.

Redline is another very good, costly, choice.

I have always used Pennzoil but Shell bought it out and now they are mixing in their blends..... Will start using a new brand that has a base so pure that it is totally clear infact the oil is sooo good they don't make synthetic as it doesn't compare to the normal stuff.

[benm]

Castrol Magnatec for like $26

(Only because I couldn't find anyone that would sell me Motul)

[Silver-Arrowz]

Use mobil 1.

tried all different kinds but mobil 1 wins out. Price and oil temperature stability it winds hands down everytime.

[red17]

Mobil 1 10W/30

Red17

[surreal]

Royal Purple.

Not the cheapest, but not outrageous.

Spec'ed for drag and 'dumb racing in a circle' cars in the USA.

Bit hard to find, but worth the effort.

[Guest Nismo_Freak]

Hey... they have 2 road tracks now!

But they call up different drivers to race on the road circuits LOL!... NASCAR sucks as-s. I'll take my rally and GT enduro thank you.

As for oil... Mobil 1 is good and relatively cheap, but Amsoil is the best for the buck IMO.

[surreal]

Wow! It must be top stuff if this fella says so...

"Royal Purple is the best protection that money can buy!"

....sarcasm people, sarcasm. It is good though. http://www.royalpurple.com/rethome/rethome.shtml
