The Goods On Oils

i dont see why anyone would use a semi synth 4100 when you can get a full synth 8100 for about the same price .. is it because its called turbolight people think its better for turbos :unsure:

1. it's still cheaper... ;)

2. if you are running ethanol then you want to run an oil with a mineral content so it can take on some water... so in the motul range the choices are really only 4100 for a 10w40 or 6100 for a 15w50

Just finished my oil change, took about an hour all up.

Got Motul 8100 xcess 5w40 because they were out of stock of xmax and just wanted to get it done today.

Any problems using 5w40?

No it will destroy your engine, also since when does an oil change take an hour!??

Hey! Be fair it was my first RB25 oil change...

Also threaded a socket and broke a spanner trying to undo the sump plug the wrong way lol

Engine is loving the reduced friction too thanks :)

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.
