Mobil 1 Gold 0-40w just do it!!!

[RB_purr]

Has 111,000 on the clock and want something that isn't too thick because I want the oil to get straight up there especially on cold starts but I hear a lot about motul oils do I might have a look tommorow at some

Olive oil Smells great

I wish people would put up their budget on how much they're willing to spend, would make it so much easier to recommend an oil. Any $ figures I put in ()'s are approximations.

Good (Group 3 semi-synths): Motul 4100 Turbolight ($50), Gulf Western Syn-X 3000 ($35), Royal Purple ($50)

Better (Group 4 PAO full synths): Motul 8100 X-Cess/X-Max ($70), GW Syn-X 6000 ($60), Royal Purple XPR ($120), Mobil 1 0w40 ($70)

Best (Group 5 Ester full synths): Motul 300V Chrono ($150), Redline ($120)

My apologies I forgot to put how much I was willing to spend basically it doesn't worry me I want what's best for the engine Redline or Motul 300V Chrono seem like the best sort of option am I correct ?

this, its 40$ a bottle you cant go wrong..

[Moodles2]

As long as the oil is changed at 5,000km or every 6 months (whatever comes first) anything I listed or others have listed are perfectly fine. Motul 300V and Redline are the best and you said you wanted the best (comes at a big price).

Personally anything I listed in the good or better category I would use on my GTR when doing street driving. Better or Best I would use at the track, it's overkill for a street driven car.

btw penrite hpr10 is group 4....as i said ,for 40$ you cant go wrong....lol

[Moodles2]

As far as my quick google check, HPR is a full synthetic by marketing (containing the minimum percent of mixed PAO synthetic), not a true Group IV oil. Which means it belongs in amongst the Group III oils, but the 10 Tenths range is a true synthetic (mix of PAO and esters )

Nulon Full synthetic is another example, not a true group IV synthetic, but it meets the minimum percent of synthetic stock to be marketed as such.

I stand corrected ...

[RB_purr]

Fair enough well I drive it hard skid it respectively and want whatever is going to make little RB purr

[boostn0199]

the turbolight or hpr is more than enough, I use them for my track car. I dont see the point of 150 for oil on street car.

Exactly

OP needs to say what the car is mainly going to be used for. If its just around town nothing wrong with motul turbolight. I use 8100 x-cess which is pretty good

my two reccomendations exactly... unless the motor is making big power and is tracked then there is no point spending more coin. as it's just a waste.

I would add to this castrol edge 10w60 though if the car is going to be spending long periods on the limiter

[RB_purr]

Cheers for the help guys appreciate it

also 0w40 is too thin for a 150,000+ km old bottom end that was designed back in the 80's
