[tuleo99]

Hi ! I have a R33 gtst series 2, I want to change the oil but i don't know which oil should be fine for my car. 10W50, or 10W60?? ect.....If any one can give me a advice, that will be great. Thanks alot, Hope you guys have a nice day.

And some time i smell alot of gas or petrol in my car when i drive fast. Is that normal????

10W40 is fine.

Not normal. Check for fuel leaks or take it to a mechanic.

I'm running 15W50 in it but 10w40 is fine. For the hotter months it wouldn't hurt to have a slightly higher viscosity.

Depends on engine condition. Mine doesnt use oil with either viscosity. I run semi synthetic and change it every 4-5000kms. Some people say to run full synthetic but I'm not that hard on it and change oil often. I find $50-$60 for oil a bit excessive in a road car. I use $25-$30 oil. Castrol Magnatec was ok and I'm now on Shell Helix that is about 30 bucks
