hello all,

well my question is im going to change on the weekend, and was wanting advice on oils, i have read the oil sticky thread, and im just trying to get my final idea, i dont race or thrash this car, its all stock, done under 100K kms, and every time i start it up in the morning it seems to struggle holding the revs and konks out, but gets to stable levels about 3 starts, so i think its something to do with the thickness with cold starts, so would 0w-30 or 40 be a good oil then?

how many litres does the RB20DET take also? how many i need?

and im wanting to use a K&N oil filter, as im not too sure where to get a genuine one? im in SA so if people know places then please help me out.

:) thank you for any feedback

in most easy to understand way of explaining....its the viscosity of the oil when it is cold...the second number is when hot....there are a few good articles worth reading to fully understand....a quick google search of oil viscosity should explain the basics

    • It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

    • Actually I need to book the V37 for a test day, who is running it? And yeah just let me know if you are down night before or after and we can kill some beers That is my super power
    • Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
