Oil Change Gtr34 V-spec

[Longz]

Hey all i've done a few searches and couldn't find anything on changing the oil for a GTR34.

Few questions is it the same as changing other car oils ? i use to do my Evo 8

Simply remove 1 bolt flush oil replace oil filter + get new oil

does anyone know which side of the GTR is the filter located at is it under the car ?

i was thinking of using 10-40w royal purple oil

thanks !

They're probably platinum - should only need changing every 100,000km...

Any cars oil filter is an ass to get to after changing an Evo 8 Haha. They are beautifully placed!

yeh true that right next to the bolt

prados are right next to the oil filler cap... and they have a little well with a drain tube that comes out next to the sump plug..

i think the worst oil filter location is on old 4wd hiluxs... its upside down, but right above one of the steering links... so you cant get a claw and a ratchet on it... there isnt enough room to use a filter strap.. and not enough room to get both hands on it.

the only way to do it is with a claw, jammed in on a funny angle, which pierces the bottom of the filter, causing dirty black diesel oil to drain down you ratchet and your arm and into your armpit before youve even got the filter loose... then the oil drips down onto all the steering links and muck covered front diff housing, which then starts to splatter as it hits. and run from one side to the other, dripping a nice black mess all over the floor.

after doing them day in day out.... any filter seems good!!
