Speak to oilman on here.

He works for Opie Oils and can point u in the right direction, depending on which mods you have!

i would go with a 10w as i feel the 0w is a tad to thin for these engines. as for the heat rating, nissan say 30 but most agree thats too low, i would be happy with 40 on a std engine and say 50-60 on a modded one. I think castrol RS stuff is meant to be pretty good, so is millers and one by Silkolene i think. All those ore for modded engines Id guess. No idea whats in mine though, mind you its thicker than it was due to hydralic lifter slurp i stuck in.

10/40 magnatec for me, even with a modded engine.

10/40 magnatec and gets dropped every 1000 with a filter every 2000;)

 

ps...old oil then gets re-used in my other cars and trucks

Now that's a great idea if I had other motors to run !

You should get a discount on road tax (or is it called emissions tax or whatever they think of next tax nowdays) for that idea

Castrol RS 10-60. Good so far.....And if you listen to the Oil Man and those who seem to know their stuff if you buy a good oil, fully synthetic, it will last longer and so costs less in the long run and gives better protection.

 

Depending on the driving style Oil Man says up to 10k on good oil. IIRC

0w, 5w or 10w - it makes no difference on a hot engine!

 

The "w" figure represents the ability of the oil to circulate quickly around the engine from a cold start; the lower the better.

 

The second number (ie the "40" in a 0w40; 5w40 or 10w40) is more significant as it represents the oil's ability to withstand breakdown under load when hot.

 

So a 0w40 performs exactly the same as a 10w40 at full operating temperature!

A "40" rating, as mrogers says, is more than sufficient for a relatively standard TT engine;)

I think I am beginning to understand oil!:dance:;)
