I'm coming up on my 2nd oil change on my stockish 34. I've used Royal Purple in all changes, in all cars prior. But I would like to give Gulf Western Syn X 6000 or Motul 8100 X-Cess a go. Cheapest I've found for what you are interested in are...

Royal Purple HPS: $70/5 quarts (4.73L) from performanceclub.com

Motul 8100 X-Cess: $75.99/5L from justjap.co

EDIT: Also, just stumbled across this; If you're a member of RACQ, you get 20% off prices store-wide in Repco until the end of February. So go get some stuff. Or get your mum to. lol

For Those of you using Royal Purple, this might be of interest.

And

that works out @ $56.30AUD per 4.7L and you will get 4 changes from the 5 Gal.

Not bad a all.

If you run Motul, my local Repco is clearing it out and replacing it with Gulf Western. Not sure if its the other stores too?

I've noticed no difference between the Valvoline semi synth I was using and the Motul 300v I dropped in at the last change. I have one more change worth of 300v then I'll be trying the new Gulf Western Syn X 6000, as by then I should be on e85.

add 100 for shipping and tax... still works out cheaper though

I'm pretty sure that figure I quoted was for the 10-40W and included shipping,

Add some to you cart and begin the checkout process and see what you get.

Strange, my cart came up with $133 + $100.60 for 6-18 dat shipping?

It ticks while cold, goes away at operating temperature in a few minutes. No knocking (thank goodness). A lot of the guys here in the forums use 40w while I have been using 30w for almost all of my cars so I am wondering if I should stick with 40w. Thanks :thumbsup:

On the topic :)

Maybe stick with the cheaper one of the two? Both are great oils and with regular oil change, there won't much difference between the two I think tbh.

    • So, we now have a straight and clean boot lid inbound and the car goes in for paint, again, on Wednesday, and will be ready on Friday, all ready to get cams and stuff on Monday  And by straight and clean.....I mean a brand new OEM one that cost..... $1300....馃槳 Sadly there's no clean undamaged used soft top version available, plenty for the power retractable hard top versions though, which is arse and makes Mark have the sads I could have waited longer, until a NC sort top boot lid eventually turned up, but I'm sick of waiting and said fark it and made it rain cash, meh In other naturally aspirated news, one of the guys at work brought in his old Corola which had a 4AGE in it, really nice clean car with lots of mods, including ITB's, man that things induction noise sounds sick with all of the dorts that makes you smile......maybe the NC needs ITB's, yeah, basically for the noise they make, but they're pretty expensive, but, they sound so damn good I may bring this up when I drop the car up on Monday, and by may, I mean I will馃ぃ馃馃お馃ぃ
    • If you squint hard enough those horrendous barracuda wheels look a bit like r33 GTR ones!
    • ....that still needs to be retrofitted to take R134A also.
    • The Frenchy's kit linked above, will cost you about the same as factory Nissan. The difference with staying factory Nissan is, you'll end up with an inferior AC system.
    • 50k for an auto series 2 now. Does have a battery so probably adds a bit.
