The Goods On Oils

[Trozzle]

I've been using Capilano Grey Box lately, 30w80. Tastes good.

hey guys, quick question does anyone use Mobil Super S 10w40

No

[BTC89P]

I just bought an R33 GTR V Spec that just got imported from Japan and i'm wanting to do an oil change but was unsure what synthetic oil to use.

Have been looking at using Nulon hi tech fast flowing synthetic 10w 40 on the advise of a mate but just wanted confirmation.

[Moodles2]

For starters Nulon is not a full synthetic. Motul is the way to go, 8100 X-Cess 5w-40 or the new one which is 10w-40, both proper full synthetics.

[Humbla]

Nulon 10 40.

[Galois]

Nulon 10w40 is a decent oil but way over-priced for a semi-synthetic. Spend the extra 10-15 and go with motul 8100 xcess, or whatever the new one is, or royal purple fully synth for the same price (if you can find it).

Nulon 10w40 "high tech whatever" shit states on the back that it's 100% synth, not "fully synth"

that being said, the waxes and shit in there are classed as synthetic, so it may be one of the 100% but actually 75% synthetics. Either way, I'm running it and there's been no issues, I'm yet to see how it comes out though.

My rb25 has been running the nulon 10 40 for over 100000 ks no probs.

[boiracer]

wow 100k? time for an oil change

[pipster11]

so has anyone used the gw syn that autobarn stocks? the syn-x 3000?

i think its only about $30, i might give it a go (can't be any worse than nulon)

[Birds]

Haven't personally but all my workshop customers love it, they use it in every car they can. Should go well in your car, do let us know

thats good to hear, $32 and in stock at autobarn

will be going in tmrw

Oil and filter changed every 5ooo.

[pipster11]

syn-x is in, runs just about as well as the sougi but for half the price (will probably need changing twice as frequently tho)

win for a street car

[Birds]

Nice to hear, give us a report in 5000km

It should run much thesame as Sougi, it's all the same viscosities and some of the additives...plus some that Sougi didn't have.

[KrazyKong]

When my stock of Sougi runs out, I'll give SynX a shot. By then though their Sougi alternative might have seen the light of day.

Would like to hear from those who have used the new Motul 10w40 Xmax. Anyone tried it yet?

[SargeRX8]

gw oil lol we sell that at Woolworths. I thought its some cheap shit stuff.

Going Motul 300v for my next oil change. Been on Royal Purple for too long, want something new!

[Moodles2]

Sougi is very deceptive, it looks like regular $5 XMP (XTR whatever) shite. I've been running Sougi S6000 full synth in my GTR for acouple weeks and for all intents and purposes it feels like just like my old oil (Motul X-Cess 5w-40) but interested to see the condition of the oil is (compared to the Motul changes) when it comes to changing the oil.

I just did my oil change with this. feels the same as the 5w40 but $10 cheaper

lol yes and quite rightly...I'll never forgive GW for doing that to the brand. That Woolworths spec oil is good at what it does, i.e keep old pieces of shite running into the ground, obviously a different drop of oil to the more expensive GW oils
