You can choose:

Motul 4100 Turbolight 20W50,5l(thicker oil)

Motul 4100 Turbolight 10W40,5l

Its great stuff, any import workshop would recommend it..

I think its priced about $45-50

Are you able to get Mobil delvac 1 5w40 over there? That is one pretty strong oil (group IV/V) with loads of anti-wear additives.

alot of people use castrol 10W-60 formula R.

supercheap has 20% off today as its easter.....

otherwise motul fully synthetics are very good.

That's too thick for street use unless it's for track or autocross... even for that you got to baby it till up to temp before flooring it.

Thick or thin oil?

I picked up some shell Helix fully synth 5-40 but haven't put it in yet, will it be OK?

SHU are actually quite avg, make up of mostly group III oil. There's some pretty strong oil like Mobil delvac 1, Motul 300V, Redline street engine oil and Royal Purple.

you have to remember that alot of people don't just baby their cars but regularly thrash them either drags/drift, general spirited driving...

and australian conditions are pretty warm compared to the USA where it snows in winter thus we can use thicker oil.

trex101... you seem to know your oil...

do you recommend motul 4100 turbolight 10w 40?
