Hey, Which Oil Is The Best For R33 Skylines?

[GTR_VSpecII]

I use Castrol Formula R in my R32 GTR.

[Topaz]

I just bought Shell Helix Ultra for my R32 GTR, yet to change it

The Castrol R, Helix Ultra, Pennzoil & Valvoline Synthpower oils were all about the same price when I bought mine (~$55)

[TracidTrax]

r their different recomendations for the 32,33 and 34?

[readyGO]

i have motul 8100 in my 33.. :

Oh noes! Another oil thread!

Honestly, search. It has been done to absolute death. Any of the quality oils of the right rating is probably fine. As with most things, if you want to spend more, there is always a way.

Ive used Motul 300v chrono every 3000km +- since i bought the car

First time ive ever changed my oil and actually FELT a difference (had nissan genuine in before)

[R33ing]

I use mobile 1........My mechanic waz explaining to me y its better than the other performance oils, forgot y it is better though....But yea its meant to b better......

[Bazelinez]

How much is the Nissan slop and is it any good?

I've got Helix Ultra in mine....seems cool.

My mechanic recommend i use a 10w-40 oil. It sound too thin for me... does anyone use this grade(rb25det)

The recommended nissan oil grade is - 7.5W30 I do believe (off the top of my head, you can check the service manual for this) Speaking to nissan guys - they recommend either 10W40 or 5W30.. if your driving it hard - think a couple of the guys on here recommend 10W40.. plenty of posts on it - do a search - but advanced - and make it all topics including those >6 months..

default search is newer than 6 months - you miss alot..

Yep...

And after the rebuild and still running in I was using it (after running in oil) Motul Turbolight as it is semi.

Now cause of the moly rings I go full synthetic, Pennzoil as I get it almost for free and its the shiz, better than when I used Mobil 1 etc.

Oh and use the search this subject has the most threads on it I reckon :soap:

use what they use in the JGTC MOTUL 8100 turbolite it was developed for the rb engines.

[lwells]

it was developed for the rb engines.

There is nothing particularly special about the RB series engines in terms of the oil needs AFAIK. I wouldn't read too much in to the marketing dross these companies spew out.

no offence mate, but I don't know where you heard that. no way would ANY JGTC team use 'turbo light' when motul make much higher spec, proper synthetic oils. as for it being 'developed for RB engines' i must say i do detect a hint of bullshit in that claim too.

BTW I'm not knocking motul oils (I use motul oil).

I'm sure whatever they put in the car they probably called "Turbolight": the fact its got the same product family name doesn't mean its the same stuff.

You know the Shell Helix in Ferrari F1 cars is the same stuff in my local servo. Honest. They say so on the ad

You Guys Are All Mad!!!!! (and Get Paid Far Too Much!!!) Valvoline Xld 10-50 Is The Go.....(get It At Kmart For Less Than $15 For 5 Litres). Change It & The Oil Filter Every 5000klm & The Engine & Turbo Will Last For 300,000 Klms........
