The Goods On Oils

[chestnut]

I was desperate to get a change done today so I just got the HPR 10. My oil reeked of fuel

niZmO_Man my (local) Autobarn had 10 Tenths Premium but unfortunately not the Premium 0W-50 which is what Penrite was recommending for me.

I’ll be getting some Racing 10 (10W-40) from Repco as per the suggestions above.

Thanks guys!

[niZmO_Man]

Any of the Premium oils will work fine with your car.

[chestnut]

Mine is just a street car, so the Premium 0 would be preferable right? With Premium 5 and 10 being more for track work?

i use 10/40 tens racing with no oil control mods, car is regular daily and gets limiter bashing on the track days

picked up 4 bottles at repco for 55

try 10/40, then try 0-5w-50 on your next oil changed after that and note how much oil has been consumed

went from castrol to everyday penrite with the same grade on sisters daily and has fixed the power band issues it had

Syn-x 6000 has been in for a few weeks now

Seems good, a little less sluggish on cold start too (hasn't been as cold tho, so probably just that)

I use pretty much same have 250rwkw on my 34GTT and use 5w-40 even when taking out to track for drifting. I am going to put the 10w-50 when I head out to matsuri as it will be hotter then and a lot more track time seen than usual

Nulon street and track 15w50 has quietened my engine massively over the Motul 6100, especially on cold start. Sounds like a stock motor.

[Got a Pulsar]

Engine : Nulon hi tech fast flowing 10W40 synthetic + one bottle of Nulon E20. - Very smooth.

Gearbox : Nulon Semi-Synthetic 75W-90 Smooth Shift. - Tightened the box + easier cold shift / less crunch.

Diff : Nulon SAE 90. - Tightened up and stopped a reversing clunk.

Probably posted this before but all of these have improved my car. (Daily Driven)

Very Happy.

i cant say i know much but as far as going thicker grade with no oil control mods it might leave you with more oil in the head not draining back to bottom end due to thickness

others may have actual answers to this.

Can anyone tell me what is a safe oil temp for my r32 gtst? its a drift car with basic mods like a r34 neo turbo, hks intercooler, turbo back exhaust and a good cold air intake... also has some cooling mods such as a triple core alloy radiator, r34 viscous fan with shroud and large trust oil cooler with earls braided lines etc.

The oil is getting to 100 degrees very quickly, I always stop around then and let the car cool down but would be nice if I stay on the track for longer I was using penrite hpr 10 (synthetic 10w50) but have tried hpr 15 (15w60) and that made no difference.

Is there oils that are safe to use at say 120 degrees? Or could I possibly have an oil pump thats getting tired or some other issue?

any help would be appreciated

THanks

Oil temp of around 100 is pretty safe/normal I would have thought? My car sits on 80* day to day, and gets up to 90-95 quite quickly if I take if for a bit of a blast, and also comes down quite quickly once its been driven normally. I have a oil cooler in the front right guard that gets decent airflow

Im looking at using Penrite for my next oil change, seems to be quite popular

[niZmO_Man]

Tried their 10 Tenths range?

[SIFTY32]

I haven't tried the 10 tenths range yet, would a different oil actually lower the temps? or just safe to use at higher temps? will a thinner oil cause less friction thus lowering the temp? I also change the oil about every 4 drift events...

I would be happy if it stayed at 100 degrees but it will keep climbing unless I go into the pits hottest I've let it get was 120

[Marcus89]

A 40 weight oil is actually at it's best viscosity at around 100 degrees. The thicker oils aren't as good until higher temperatures although I am surprised your temps are climbing quickly with an oil cooler installed

That's actually a pretty good point didn't even think of that. I may be better keeping my thinner oil since I don't have issues with burning of the oil or blow by

[niZmO_Man]

Yeah give Racing 10 (10W-40) a go. I think they have a thicker oil in that product line. These are $75/bottle, but they should be more stable when running at 100deg.

My car is street driven, but switching from HPR to SIN I found the temps stayed a little bit lower (barely detectable).

[chestnut]

niZmO_Man, when you say you switched from HPR to SIN, do you mean 10 Tenths? Because SIN has been replaced with it correct?

I'm new to Penrite's product line so I'm just trying to better understand it.

[niZmO_Man]

Yeah, used SIN5 (now Premium 5). But used Racing 10 this year, no issues driving around in the heat nor on Marulan. Will see how it holds up at Eastern Creek south.

Still using nulon 10 40,near enough to 430000 ks now,fantastick stuff.

Genelle, try the Nulon Semi-Synthetic 75W-90 Smooth Shift (Gearbox) and Nulon SAE 90 (Diff).

Fantastick Stuff Indeeds.
