Who sells Motul 10w40 oils? i have always gone to Supercheap and gotten Mobil1 Fully Synthetic 0w40 but that's a little too light for summer.

Need 10w40..

only a quick question for a quick answer, thanks SAUWA :devil:

Last lot I got was from Repco. Suggest ring and ask as they do not always hold in stock.

Cheers

People just don't understand and often wont be told. Many resellers dont know anything about oil etc and often miss lead customers.

Like I was today by a female sales person...

Me: The 300V Chrono is only 4 litres and I will probably need about 4.5

Her: Just leave some oil in the engine before refilling

Me: ......................

Motul 300Vif you have alot of money to throw around. 109$ for 4L, 57$ for 2L

Otherwise Motul 4100 Turbolight 5L for 59$.

Motoquipe sell it for very cheap. Repco also stock it at 120% what motoqipe charge

Or go royal purple.

why? they have the same hot viscosity, the 10-40 is just thicker when cold, hardly better....

thats exactly it...

its not that cold anymore so dont really need the '0' rating.

Both are top notch oils, mobil 1 and royal purple... and similar pricing =)

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
