yep search the forums bro. it all comes down to how much u can spend. Use oil no higher than these ranges (no higher than)10W-XXW for the lowest rating and no higher than XXW-50W.

The Nissan guide recommends at 7.5-30w rating for the oil since its for a new motor its also hard to get some most people are running 5-40w, 5-30w -0-30w 0-40w 5-50w. Your choice. Check the thread buy the search button. You will find over 50pages of stuff to read. Also check google on oil myths good info if u have time to read it.

Hi all just thought i might add my 2 cents

I have used nearly every oil under the sun Mobil, Penrite, Shell,AGIP,Motul,Caltex.... the list goes on.

I think that the best way too check if an oil works for you is check the state of the oil when you change it...Colour, rub it between ur finger etc...

I have noticed that the racing oils like AGIP and Motul that i have used are only good for sorter periods then 5000KM, like a track day/weekend and then change it. But they do work really well for that time!!!

Till now i have noticed that Mobile 1 is the only oil that has kept its original characteristics...well closer than any of the others over the 5000KM.

So i use Mobil1 most off the time and then put in some Motul if im doing some track/skidpan time.

i use mobil 1 / motul 6100. Ive recently heard that the motul is a higher "grade" oil than the mobil stuff. I dont know exactly what that means but... Also was told the new mobil 1 super syn isnt worth the dollars.

havent done any tests, just what ive heard. But with most of us changing every 5000kms its prob not that important.

mobil 1 is over priced for what it is and how it is made...advertising and everything costs money where else can it go. Motul oil refering to the 8100 model 5-40w rating is reasonably priced and preforms like a top oil for a good price...motul have another branded model which is 300v which is made specifically for race and indurance races track work/drag etc... this is a specific oil for this purpose motul 5w-40w is a good all rounder. The 8100 model is as close as u will get to the best motul oil (300V) without paying 40bucks for 2 litres(300v) motlu 8100 cost about $55 and is priced quite good for how it is designed and created compaired to the competitors..

Because Magnatec is a mineral oil and breaks down a lot easier than synthetics in turbo engines. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. All of its virtues of "sticking" to upper engine parts are also apparent in any other good quality oil. "Magnatec" is pure marketing!
