The Goods On Oils

own no, stolen maybe

That 10-40 everyday Shiite has been out for a while. Used it a couple of times in an sr20, seemed OK. I ended up changing to castrol edge 10-60 to try and stop my flogged sr from making its ugly sr noises. I don't have an sr anymore. I'm now an rb fan. I've got about 15 litres of 10-60 stockpiled in my shed. I'm wondering if it will be OK to run in the rb25?

Been using this for years. Could never fault it.

What is the difference between a diesel and petrol oil? I know diesel have more cleaners but is that all?

[mr skidz]

Any formula of oil that has more of one particular thing (solvents) has sacrificed something else to fit it all in.

that penrite extra10 shite confuses the crap outta me. is it a 10w30 or a 10w40?? package says may be used where 10w-30 is recommended.

everyday 10w-40 made the v35 sump seal weep oil, was all wet. switched to nulon 10w40, dry as... so does that mean penrite everyday is really a 10w30 with some extra "protection'?

Yep diesel engine oils usually contain higher levels of dispersants to prevent the soot particles from agglomerating.

Historically they have always contained higher zinc which has significant anti-wear properties. They got rid of zinc in the 80s because of catalytic converter contamination fears but recently started to reintroduce it into petrol engine oils.

I have used it since 2007 in my LS2 and for 5 years in my RB.

When I blew my turbo couple of years ago I pulled the sump off and it was amazing. No deposits at all.

Technically, yes. It acts like a 30 weight oil.

@xgtrx

That is spotless!

I have same socket .

If you put R32 GTR into Penrites recommendation guide, is says that HPR 5 SAE 5W-40 is the preferred one. The new, cheaper one may be a lesser oil.

It's just for my daily and the mrs car so all good. I use Castrol 10-60 in the GTR.

[niZmO_Man]

Psh I use Penrite 5W-60 just to cover the [temperature] bases

[mr skidz]

10w40 and 20w50 full syn oils should have everyone's bases covered,

I have no idea why anyone would want to use heavier oils in a high revving motor like an RB?

unless I had no oil cooler and I was bashing through a Dakar rally then maybe I would use a 60 weight

[Missileman]

I use the the Penrite Racing 5 (5W-30) when I can find it on special, but most of the time I'll use the HPR Diesel 5 (5W-40) I have the Racing 5 in there now and it seems spin up a little quicker than the Diesel 5 that it replaced.

Will be interesting to see how the thinner stuff hold up during this summer.

Repco has nulon 1040 in 6ltrs for 50 bucks absolute bargain,been using this for hundreds of thousand ks fantastic stuff,no lifter noise on start up and lasts for 10000 ks my ol 33 loves it.:-) :-)

Great sticky, did a bit of research and just bought royal purple 10w40 high performance Street for 92 bucks for 5 litres and nissan oem filter for 20. Will hit 5k service on the weekend. Car currently runs smoothly but would like to see the difference at the high end of things after the change.

I'm Betting none.

[Hadouken]

Jesus! I wouldnt be boasting about those prices. Thats a rip

[Dan93]

Switched from Nulon 10w 40 full synthetic to Motul (same grade) because of the E85 compatibility. Doesn't say on the bottle, but read somewhere that it is.

[Hadouken]

car go quicker with motul?
