well depend on how much you want to spend..

which is lik $42 bucks for 5L

you mite also try..

castrol edge 5-30, which is like around $60bucks for 5L

mobil 1 10-50? or is it 5-40?? which is lik around $60bucks for 5L

(correct if i'm wrong...)

these are the type of oils to use that are available everywer.......

but u can also get redline oil, castrol 0-30, and mobil 0-40 oil aswel

but ther gona cost ya!!!!!

but its up to you...

u need to identify.....

wat the condition of your engine?

how many k's on the engine?

wat type of driving will u be doing? -> stop/start..city...highway..drags/drift...or all as mentioned?

is it really cold! in the mornings?

is it boiling hot! in the day???

these help identify wat oil may be require in YOUR engine!!!

if so everything above fit ur description of driving!

then use the above oil that i mentioned

....there in a good range

and are good priced!

i have been using 5w-50 mobile 1... around $68 for 5 litres....Seems to be good...but i think 50 is a bit thick for street use... always comes out dark brown/black after 5000km which is a good sign... as it means its been cleaning out the insides of your engine...which mobil 1 is well known to do =)

Going to give mobil 1 0-40 a shot in the next few weeks, got about another 1000km before i hit 5000kms... tho its around 90$ for 5 litres i think...

Theres alot of debate over oil... most people are loyal to the ones they use... as long as u get a fully synthetic one, and change it reguarly at 5000kms... shouldnt have any problems.. Dont get anything over 50w if its for street use only.. even 50 is pushing it a bit, hence why im going down to 40. The cold weight (the lower number) doesnt really matter so much... as long as its not over 10/15... You shouldnt be pushing the car when its cold anyway...

Hope this helps!!

Best for R33 GTS / GTR or any turbo vehicles i would say viscosity of 15W50.

You get quick engine response yet you dont loose out on torque.

Im using MOTUL 300V Competition 15W50. Its good for hot engines and hot climates.

Ive tried, TORCO 5W40 and claims it gains HP.

Its true but on mid rpm range onwards i tend to loose out on torque. I feel it instantly. On the lower rpm it works great and after 3000km the TORCO oil tends to loose its characteristic.

Oils ive tried, REDLINE, TORCO, MOTUL, Q8, ROYAL PURPLE and other high performance engine oils. From my experience on road and track driving, i will go for MOTUL 300V series anytime.

Just my humble opinion and experience on engine oils.

Cheers!
