Engine, Gearbox And Diff Oil Being Changed

[jakez88]

o.k before anyone tells me off i just want to say that i jsut want this question of mine answered simply as i just want to know if these oils will be the correct to buy for my r32 gtst. i knwo theres a eleventy billion ppage thread about oils but seriously cannot be bothered reading it all especially with specific individuals and their application. i want to knwo if these oils will be alright for my application.

now i just passed 100000kms and did my water pump and tmiing belt kit. in the next 1000kms or so i wanna do my engine, gearbox and diff oil to be changed especially with my gearbox as its getting pretty notchy.

i drive my 92 r32 gtst daily and it is as stock as a rock besides catback and pod. Never gonna be tracked and i usually just granny it around 80% of the time and boost it the rest.

went to super cheap and found these oils:

engine: Castrol Edge "Fully synthetic" 5w-40 for like 38.99 on sale but its gone back up to 50.00 or so

Mobil 2000 "semi synthetic" 10w-40 for about 34.99

Gearbox: Nulon "semi synthetic" 75w-90 43.99 i think.

Diff: haven't found anything.

alright jsut want to know if these will be o.k for a "DAILY" driver. I know there is alot of talk about castrol edge being really crappy but its gotta be better then what some people are putting into their car with fully synthetic on it and being the most expensive in the castrol range in super cheap?

now diff oil if the same as gearbox? can i use that nulon stuff? can someone suggest better oils that are under $50 for engine, gear and diff?

and how many litres of the oils do i need to top up the engine, gear and diff?

pls just straight answers and no flaming lolz.. thanks.

at work we use vmx80 gear oil for gearboxes and lsx90 for diffs. these go in everything from navaras to 350Zs, so im thinking it might be ok for you

cant be sure what amount for each... we pump them straight out of the barrel...

theres probably gonna be better and cheaper options for you though

edit- keep in mind im vague as at work though, i could be wrong

thanks for that mate....can anyone else tell me if these oils aer o.k to use? any other recommendations for the price?

[jakez88]

any other recommendations? i'm more worried about the gear box and diff oils then engine oil as i've made up my mind about getting the castrol edge sport 5W-30.

the nulon stuff sounds good?

also for the r32 owners how much oil is needed for engine, gearbox and diff?

any details on the oils...motuls engine oils are abit pricey especially for semi synth turbolight and group ii oil? haven't really seen motuls gear aand diff oils though.

75w-90 semi synth good for my gear box? can anyone at all tell me what to get for my diff?
