As BB says, horses for courses. I am more regularly at 120-130 degrees towards the end of a session whereas he is more around the 105-115 I'm guessing.

spot on. On track I'm up around the 115 mark at max, but oil pressure is still a steady 6 bar at anything above 3,000rpm (which is all the time).

I wouldn't worry too much about winter oil/summer oil your car pretty much runs the same temps summer or winter, maybe water temp get's up a bit in summer traffic. but even startup temps would only be 10degrees difference at most.

maybe try the 10W40 one trackday and see what the oil pressure is like?

Sorry I meant 15w50. It's the 300v Competition. I have been thinking about using the Chrono for winter but my car has always run fairly hot so I appreciate the extra thickness at high temp. I probably should use a better quality oil cooler but the one I have works ok and the 15w50 gives me the protection I need.

I do notice quite high oil pressure when cold and am particularly careful when warming up the car because when using a thicker oil like this I think the turbo is more suseptible to damage due to lack of oil flow. I never boost at all before the water is up to temp and would be lucky to hit 0.3bar before the oil temp has risen.

Thanks for the explaination.

I do use the 15w50 300v Competion oil, for my R32 GTR. Just Jap use it for thier GTR's that run in Targa and seems to be good.

I spoke the guy at Green Goanna and he said that he does not stock the Motul brand oil. But he suggested to use Shell Helix Ultra 15w50 for $205 incl GST for 20L. The Shell oil is used in alot of the rally cars.

Has anyone used this oil?

Cheers

Guys try Harold at performancelub.com.... Royal purple is 10.90$ for a quart (946ml)... this guy imports his stuff form America.

he is located in Melbourne, but even with postage he is cheaper then most places.

Cheers.

I picked up some Mobil 1 0w40 for 54$ (i picked it up though).
