on topic, i was able to get some Motul 300V for my car as it was on sale at my local Repco so i'm trying to stick with that as it renowned as the best way to ensure the longevity of the engine with it's ester based mix.

hope that helps,

danny

The thread that Danny posted is worth the read...

But to answer your Q, since Powerplayimports used ELF EXCELLIUM on the Z-TUNE (with its ability to withstand high heat), that's what I've been using.

MOTUL 300V is probably the most popular as Vu & Danny would attest (through its esterification process).

motul turbolight 4100 10w40 cause i can run it with e85 and pulp unlike 300v

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Mobil Semi Synthetic 10W 40.

[Deano 1]

Penrite HPr10 when street driving.

And redline 15-50 when doin trackwork.

People that pay for motul, or redline and only street drive there cars are just stupid. It's never goin to make any difference and your just driving to and from work or boosting it up here and there every now and than, you oil temps never get high on the street. It's a big waste of coin....

My 2 cents

[sriver killer]

mobil 2000

15W 40 semi synthetic ($40 at autobarn)

daily driver/ nite time thrasher

140 thousand kms and still got 155-160ish across all six yay!

[TurboDoseBro]

Castrol Edgefully synthetic 0w40. For better circulated engine startup and less friction (theoretically). Also mostly because it was one of the cheapest fully synthetics.

Apparently it's too thin?

[jimmy01]

well i read 90% of the other thread and chose to roll with 300v and shit i hope its the ducks nuts. i spent enough on it! lol

[RB25PWR]

Motul 8100 5w40

[Brandon]

Royal Purple 10w40. No issue and cbf changing or experienting any others.
