i have to do a oil change very soon and i have a few questions regarding redline oils...

i got quoted around 117 i think for a gallon which is under 4litres, and i also need a 1/4 of a galon which is like 27... who here uses redline oil? do u use the 10W40 grade? and how many galons or litres would i need? and how often should i change the redline oil? they told me 30,000km but that seems way too much...

i know theres better oils but i use mobil1, this time i wanted to try redline... and any1 uses the nylon additive?

1. Redline is one of the top oils.

2. Dont use Oil additives they dont do shit unless u have like a 60's classic and its blowing smoke, usally they do more harm than good.

3. Redline Oils Have exended drain intervals, so abuot 10,000km on redline normally u would change it every 5000km with a ordinary oil.

4. I would recommend redline if your have money to throw at your car, and also do alot of track work, high temps etc.

5. For normal driving a synthetic oil is fine mobil 1, Motul, shell, castrol etc etc..

6. Personally i'd rather change my oil frequently even if u wanted to chnage your oil every 2500km so lets say a bottle of oil costs abuot $50 or even $60 it would cost less to change it more often, and you would still have half a liltre after every change left over.

2500km x 2 = 5000km (rec by nissan) 2x 5litre bottle of full synth oil = $120 u get to change it often so it nearly dosent have sufficent time to break down.

7. Skylines use about 4.5litres of oil inc oil filter.

My 2 Cents

I pay in melbourne for 1 galon of redline 10w-40w abuot $110 i think..plus whatever extra it is for a extra litre.The longest i would leave it is 10,000km but i cant guarantee it. Along the way check the colour of the oil, if it smells burnt etc..there a little tests that u can do to check the condition of the oil.

See what the retailer recommends..from what i have noticed with my oil the higher rpms i fang it to the more wear on the engine and the quicker my oils gets darker. Driving like a granny seems the keep it more cleaner over some time, as compaired to high rpms.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
