The Goods On Oils

[ARTZ]

how come u never tell us what oil u use Rolls?

[AngryRB]

I too am keen to hear this, how is it to drive?

speaking of RB20E, i one had a skyline with an RB20ET, i bought it thinking it was a RB30DET cause it looked like one under the bonnet,

Didnt drive that bad really until the auto decided to start slipping and then found out it was running 1 bar of boost. lol..

You actually broke a spanner? What was it plastic! Lol surely you would round the sump nut before breaking either of those. Also a socket doesn't have threads haha.

Remember this rule, lefty loosie righty tighty and you can't go wrong.

Those do sound like cheap tools...

Lol I made the opening post in this thread haha

I usually use motul 8100 when I can get it for $59

Lol yeah they were pretty cheap, I thought it was on too tight so ended up using my foot to push the spanner and try and undo the bolt but it snapped and I nearly sliced my foot open... Probably shouldn't be telling you all this, I'll just get teased lol

Not gonna lie to you mate, for various reasons it takes me fking AGES to do oil changes too. Not so much because I'm newb at it (done plenty of times) but because I'm simply retarded.

FWIW

I'm just compulsively clean...gotta clean all the crap the old filter spills out, wipe the sump, get every last drop of old oil out...have that oil level at exactly the same lol.

[Rolls]

Sounds like OCD, you should get on top of that.

[xALmoN]

I take an hour to do oil changes too..

jack up the car, let it drain, go shoot zombies, then put back sump plug. change filter, and fill up that oil. done.

Yeah after 25 years that's not gonna happen.

How do you guys get every last nasty drop out? Do you go so far as tilting your car and dry cranking the motor for a second?? Do you use a flushing oil?

Don't ever do this.

[Birds]

You don't need a literal last drop out, just leave it draining a good long time before you fill up with new oil and that will be plenty.

buy one of the $16 bottes of gw from supercheap

drain the old stuff

put in the cheap stuff

run it again

put the dirty stuff away

drain the cheap stuff

put the good stuff in and keep the cheap stuff for another clean

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

1) jack car

2) place pan under sump

3) unscrew sump plug

4) drain

5) take off filter

6) have a beer

7) filter on & sump plug in

8) refil

there is not an hour in that

Undo sump plug, go have beer, cup-of-tea, have a chillax, change filter etc... Then do up plug and keep going.

Prolly would skip that step.

Do you use a flushing oil?

Some people swear by it, but it's not necessary if you're using decent oil and changing it regularly. Not all carbon deposits in the engine are the "devil", any deposits for example smoothing out imperfections in the cylinder lining will be removed, which will subtract from engine performance and longevity.
