The Goods On Oils

[R377]

Confused if I should go with Penrite Racing 10 10-40w or Penrite Racing 15 15-50w, Car has 81000kms on the clock with just the first stage mods, intake, front mount, exhaust, 12psi, power fc 211rwkw, thanks.

If your going to track or go for "spirited runs" in the hills i would go 15-50w.

I personally use Nulon 10w-60

[MrRx7s3]

No track anytime soon, but she does get quite a few "spirited runs", I thought Penrite was the way to go but just read some more and am completely confused, alot of negative for Penrite in this thread, I have been using Royal Purple 10-40, although oil pressure doesn't hold up with it, always pretty low after a nice run, also with their price hike on their oils I ain't paying $120 for a bottle of oil that I just dump every 5000kms, I'm leaning towards Nulon at the moment.

5-30 10-40 and 15W-50

will all work in RBs?

im using royal purple as well but no dramas with oil pressure, u sure its not a flakey oil pressure switch?

[MrRx7s3]

Yeah man had a aftermarket oil pressure guage to check aswell and after a nice run oil pressure sits at 150-200 kpa or 20-30psi.

[MrRx7s3]

Sometimes even lower.

Just put Penrite Racing 10w-40 in mine, car runs great

Hey man, what were you using before if you don't mind me asking and how does it compare, thanks.

[MrRx7s3]

Also what oil filter are use using, I normally use a Genuine Nissan oil filter, is it worth the price or is a Ryco just as good? thanks.

Ryco make a platinum filter, has to be changed after 5000 kms tho due to the super filtration. I ran one once. Seemed fine. But put full syn in and run 10,000 km intervals now so doesn't suit me

[dyl33]

I changed to penrite 10-40w racing10 about 1000ks ago i'm happy so far good oil. I use a ryco filter not sure if they are the best, only other filter I've brought was a Drift one and it looked horrible. it had strange metal specks in it and on the thread. threw it away and got a ryco.

I genuinely am sorry but could someone please guide me to a link regarding spark plugs? I can't really seem to find anything new its all from 2006-2008 and many differences and I don't want to turn this thread into a spark plug thread aswell, thanks.

[MrFijiGold]

My relatively stock 34 runs on R/Purple HPS 5w-30. Its currently done 94,xxxkm. I am thinking of switching to Penrite, just wondering if I should up it to the 10w range?
Any suggestions guys?

[MrFijiGold]

Also, just curious as to what drain plug/washers you guys use? Magnetic or OEM. Just Jap is out of stock, and my local Nissan dealer is my last resort. Where else can I source these (OEM plug+washers)? Part No.?

Lol random post is random. Get BCPR6ES-8 (~$4 each) and replace them every 30,000km.

As for everyone else confused on what oil to get, use this: Penrite PREMIUM 5 5W-60

[MrRx7s3]

Hey man thanks for confirming that, I was leaning towards those plugs plus I'll be replacing them every 5000 kms better than the iridium crap I'm using atm and still having to change them every 10000 kms at $160 for the set, I was just unsure of the gapping, I have yellow jacket coil packs, thanks.

Edited January 10, 2014 by MrRx7s3

[MrRx7s3]

Plus I can only readily get them as bcpr6es-11 is it ok just to get them and gap them to .8, thanks for your help man.

Haha, Iridium crap. I can't believe I pay $20 a plug for them to be useless...

If you are fouling iridiums or melting them you have other issues, and copper plugs won't fix that, no matter how often you replace them.

There are literally pages of threads on plugs, why here?

[MrRx7s3]

As I mentioned before I can't really find much through search for some odd reason, iridium aren't really suited for boosted cars as their tips are thin for one and also at high heat they tend glow and that's what makes them shit themselves and also pre ignite.

[scotty nm35]

My car is runs fine at 40+ psi, perhaps it's the superior fuel I use? They (NGK's) certainly aren't as shit as you make out. Perhaps you are buying them too hot for your application?

Try a google search with skylinesaustralia (then whatever you want to find.)
