Someone should make a thread about this. Would be really helpful so you can just search for the answer and not have to wait for some to say it depends on how you use the car etc. ....

I run canola oil in my RB

[mr skidz]

I like to cook my engine in peanut oil

[Ben C34]

Lol. As if use oil. It's a scam.

[Ben C34]

You going to change the oil in your shocks also op?

[Hadouken]

^^ I would.

Ask 10 people what's the best oil, you'll get 10 different answers.

Don't stress about it. A very small percentage of people are oil nazis, and they can go read bob the oil guy all they want.

For the rest of us, a reputable brand 5w-40 or 10w-50 is fine for 95% of drivers here.

[Hadouken]

I buy the dearest oil. Because dearest means best

To be clear, what is the intended use of the car?

Daily drive?

Track days?

20 lap races?

Garage queen/ weekend toy?

That will play a part in what you choose.

[Frostyr33]

im trying to set the car up for track days, Ringwood if they get it finished.

I have MT90 is my S14 box, going to dump it shortly, seems to be too thick for the application

Hard to shift into second when cold, gets better when warm but still not as what I would have liked. Really sucks taking off from a set of lights and trying to force it into 2nd, while some daewoo is tailgating and trying not to crunch the gears

[Frostyr33]

I tried the peanut oil and the canola oil smells like a fish and chip shop driving around also changed the oil in my coilovers didn't seem to help .

You need to try the paleo, vegan kale oil grown by freerange hipsters.

[mr skidz]

I basically went to autobahn grabbed motul full syn gbox, engine, diffs , coolant, everything, cost 500 got a 100 discount for spending so much.

I'm a MOTUL biased whore.

tracked all my litre bikes for years on the shit and never had an issue so I just stuck with it but there are many good full syn oils out there now days..

[Frostyr33]

no worries skidza ,

any problem with filter relocation kits ?

as a mate said his motor rattles for the first few seconds ,until the pressure builds up ,

I thought there would be oil pressure in the lines.

[Hadouken]

your mates car is probably not doing so good

[Frostyr33]

yeah not so good hadso,

does your ricer run 9's ?, what boost do you run to get 340 kw is it a v spec, 400r , 2.8 stroker or a 3.0 litre on nitro ?
