Yes i know its a bit of cheap question but i actually did a search and no topics came back.

Just wondering what's the concensus on engine oil?

Mobile 1 - has a 5 viscus rating from what i know smaller number means thinner consistency only one from the shelves i've seen with a 5 viscus. about $55

Caltex Magnatec - 10 viscus rating but does all that stuff they talk about reducing engine wear at start up actually work. about $45

RedLine Oil if you can afford it but i can't so i can't put it in the discussion, i got told its like $120 a 5L bottle.

i see so many topics about what petrol to use but nothing for oil.

thanks

No offence buts that’s BS... either you are typing in the completely wrong thing or I don’t know what’s going on. Do a proper search for maybe like "service" or even just browse through the maintenance area.

i ain;t shitting you guys i searched for words like oil, change, what oil to use, oil filter in the advanced search and all open forums selected and this is what i got for a reply

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

and then search again and then

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
