Oil Change At 5000km ?

[gun32gtr]

every 5000 for me... oil and filter

[sloutch]

Every 5000kms for me as well. I tend to change my oil filter whenever i change my oil. Using Motul 8100 and genuine Nissan oil filter.

I feel that the car runs really well if you change your oil frequently.

Jeez i feel as if i went to abit of overkill... when i first got my car i changed diff, gearbox, engine oil, coolant, spark plugs, tappet gasket....

But i change oil and filter every 5k. I dont want a vegemite motor

I do my filter and oil every 5,000 km's. Thats what we do on every car at work. I think its necessary to keep your engine as healthy as possible

Im running 10W 40 redline in a standard R33, did find it interesting that after doing about 5500 kms oil pressure is not as healthy and stable as it was (at higher engine temps) . Its goin to be an expensive thing to run though cause its clocked that in just under 3 months of running. Was goin to do the change over the weekend.

You could probably leave it in for a bit longer Master. 7500km would still be a conservative interval with Redline as its a solidly formulated oil.

I agree with Captain Boostin' 7500km is good time to change

make sure you change both oil and filter

[rickhead]

Regarding the relocation of the filter, I've heard that there MAY be issues with oil pressure drops, this comes from a very qualified source who's done a lot of work on skylines in victoria....

[Topaz]

I do mine every 6 months and drive about 17,000kms per year so on average 1 oil and filter change ever 8,500km.....

5K to 10K .....always change the filter although some say do it every 2'nd time.

I suppose if you ran it on the track for one day you would just change the oil

When i had my old 33gts, i changed oil every 5k to 8k and always change oil filter and also use lighter weight oil.

Now i have my gtr, it make power therefore i ALWAYS change oil and genuine Nisan filter every 5K. There are two type of Genunie Nisan filter, the big one made in Thailand which to me is a no no, the small one that made in Japan i use.

Then every now and then i used engine oil flush product (GERMAN) to give that extra clean, i'm not anal about my car but i dont want to give it any reason to f*k it self as i can't afford to rebuild it.

fully synthetic oils these days last much longer than mineral or semi synth oils. I don't recommend it, but you can probably leave it longer than 10,000 and still be protecting your engine properly.

I change my oil every 4,000kms or 6 months in a car that sees mostly track work these days. I also use genuine nissan oil filters, they are like $12-13

So are you saying you do multiple track day's on one oil change?
