AzN Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I need some advice on which oil to use for my R33 GTR. The car is stock standard apart from the exhaust and I currently use Motul 8100 X-Cess 5w40. http://www.motul.com/nz/en/products/52 It costs $100 NZD here for 5L of X-Cess. I was wondering if the Royal Purple HPS 10w40 http://royalpurple.com/motor-oil-hps.html would be a good alternative instead of the Motul because I could get 5L for $60 NZD rather then $100 NZD for the Motul oil.

smithy85 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have always used the Motul 8100 excess (over 5 years now) with no problems, that said it only costs about $75 over here.

Moodles2 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've always waited till Repco do their motul 20% off and grabbed X-Cess for $65 (AUD) for 5L (I haven't done this in awhile as I've still got plenty of GW Suigi S 6000 to use up). From what I can tell about that particular RP product that it might just be a semi-synth (comparable to Motul 4100 Turbolight).. as far as I know only the RP XPR racing oil is fully synthetic (which would be comparable to X-Cess). That being said there is absolutely nothing wrong with a good semi-synth on a street-only driven skyline, as long as it's changed every 6 months or 5000km.

Hadouken Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I do like 8100. Haven't tried it in the gtr yet but my previous car loved it. Engine noise was decreased, car revved better, ran smooth. I will be trying it on my next oil change .

Moodles2 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I went into my local Repco today for a oil filter and noticed there was no Motul engine oils at all, don't think I saw anything Motul at all.

89CAL Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Another +1 for 8100 X-Cess. Been using it for a few years now, changed to Castrol Edge when I couldnt find any 8100 around where I live but found my oil pressure was to high on cold starts, 8100 is much better Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/390332-royal-purple-hps-vs-motul-8100-x-cess/#findComment-6222485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
