Top 5 Oil Test


Recommended Posts

What up.

I should be here more, I'm a GTR fan that got lost and bought 3 Silvias

Hahaha. Welcome to the forums man :rofl: I noticed how much you liked GTR's on all the Ignition DVD's and always wondered why you didn't own one.

Since when wasn;t Castrol Edge fully synthetic?

Yes, Nulon paid for it.

And yes, Silvia's are awesome. But I've wanted a GTR since I was 17, got S14 when I was 22.

Castrol Edge is Group III base oil - it's never been full synth, unless they've changed something recently (which i highly doubt) They just threw lots of money at advertising (Fast and Furious, etc)

Mobil 1 (although some discussion on validity), Royal Purple and the Motul tested are definitely true synths. No idea bout Nulon but Castrol definitely isn't.

Something about advertising laws like complimentary medications must write 'may' in its description; in oils it must say 100% synthetic like on motul oil bottles, on castrol its 'full' dosent mean it aint a good oil though, just there are better ones for the price you pay.

Well, I'm sitting next to the Castrol Edge Australian marketing manager right now, and it is fully synthetic, except for 25W-50 as its designed for "big bore" street machines ( old school muscle). The other three 0W-40, 10W-60 and 5W-30 are fully synthetic.

Just thought Id clear that up

All Castrol Edge oils are Castrol Edge Sport so yes. Like I said, only 25W-50 is the only non synthetic ( ie mineral) which is displayed on the bottle.

So yes, they used a fully synthetic Castrol Edge in the test

This quote is lol

and what was with the fan right up on the nulon test?

This test is complete BS and a pay off! I've encountered first-hand inside info proof of this, but had to promise anonymity in return.

All parties knew up front this would be debated, but didnt care, because as long as even a percentage of people who view this video arent sceptical and go ahead and buy nulon, then theyve succeeded - which was their aim. Believe what yous want, I too like the other man have nothing to gain from telling you this,but am telling the absolute truth! dont be a sucker!

it looks like the fan is even further back for the motul run...

motul had the fan furtest away and made second most power ( second to nulon of course)
