My gtr has used Castrol Edge 10w-60 since the previous owner had the motor built by Willall Racing.

I've done 2 oil changes (with nissan filters) in the 5 months/1000km of me owning it and never had any problems.

Have you got a oil cooler yet?

Hopefully I will have mine before the drags.

[leeboi33]

nah i havnt got an oil cooler iv been looking for an oil temp guage but cant find any in the style i want

[pinksta]

i use home brand olive oil in my 31... seems to run smooth and makes life easy when i feel like havin a barbecue..lol.. just jokin bro... if you wanna throw some cash around royal purple is a good oil but lets face it castrol and other brands do just as good an oil...

[fab34]

well im running the same oil as ozzy and and my car run fine and hasent had and probs

[leeboi33]

i think u guys might have gotten me confused i wanted 2 know what weights your running eg 10 40 or wateva lol but it sounds like castrol is the way to go i guess but keep the info coming cheers

I use Motul chrono series engine oil in my 34 gtr. I'm not from alice so perhaps i shouldnt be talking to you guys then as you stated mainly for the guys in alice

This is totally off the subject but just a quick question, is there a blonde chic that works at the civic video there? her dad is the head firey bloke. i think she may have put on a bit of weight last time i saw her lol

[Sklyn]

I'll go in and if I see her, I'll tell her you said that....lo

Does said chick have a name or just any random blondy?

I don't know what difference it makes if your in Alice or not as to waht oil you use....lol

What happened to you on the weekend lee? you missed out in a big way..

[leeboi33]

yeah sorry guys i was in adelaide for soundwave watchin offspring killswitch engage etc etc but i will come 2 the next and im mainly asking for people in alice cos of the extreme tempratures

[Sklyn]

aahhhh, I see said the blind man to the deaf guy!

Sounds like maybe it was us that missed out!!!!!!!

[leeboi33]

lol yeah way too many emo's there tho lol common jimmy tell me wat oil you use or is it a secret?

[Sklyn]

I will most likely be using 10 / 40 next change, unless carmelo recommends something else. Don't know what is in it atm as it was serviced just before I bought it 5000kms ago!

exactly how hot does it get there? used to be around 37 when i was living in katherine. i used 10-40 and that was pretty good.

40+ every day during january, sometimes hotter

hey edward i think i saw ur 34 and 32 gtr wen i was up in darwin 4 trade school at north flinders there me and my mates were blind a while back wen u had the 32 there and i was eggin u on to do a burnout but u said there were a few probs with the diff or somethin

holy bollocks. thats pretty hot. if you really wanna get an accurate answer your best bet would be to get in contact with the oil company themselves. They do rigorous testing with their oils. send them an email on what type of car it is, engine type, and they'll also wannna know the different weather patterns in your location. sometimes we do it where i work. were swapping over the oil in one of our ships which is coming over from Alaska which will now be stationed in Northern Territory and surrounding asian countries. We also have to upgrade the cooling system too.

Let me know if the link doesnt work..

Buying good and reliable oil can save you $$$ of engine problems and ect.

Oil just aint oil. The stuff kittles use in my car is some castrol 10-40 crap and i can chew it in 1,200k's easy driving.

What ever you do Leeboi, dont use cheap shit. Tho ive heard to use castrol edge formula R 10w60 man. Its heavyish and would decrease how much you chew. Give it a wirl. Im going to go towards Motul 300V. But im still got 3000 k's to decide
