I bought my Skyline a couple of weeks ago, the guy I purchased it off changed the oil around 60,000klms.. it's now at 61,500klms. Checked my oil today and it needs topping up. Don't have any oil on hand so I've got to go get some, intending on going to get some Motul 10-40 or similar tonight.

I'm not sure what type of oil the previous owner used. If he was using semi-synthetic or crap oil will this be a problem if I top it up with better oil? I vaguely remember him saying he used Shell, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Think I might just have to change it anyway.

I asked him last night, he said he was using a Shell oil 5w-40. I'm guessing that's the Helix Ultra or whatever. Not sure if it's 100% syntehtic or not.

I ended up getting 5litres of Royal Purple from autobarn. 10w-40. I'll change it over to this stuff tomorrow.
