it should be pretty good, Nissan recommend a 7.5W 30

I believe Sydneykid uses 0W 60 in his track cars

where do you get 0W 60 from tho?

Thanks

I use it all the time. Does the job pretty well. Don't know about the track work side of things though. Seems to take the punishment pretty well.
I'd say this oil would be pretty on par with Mobil 1.

Hahaha you type like a fresh of the boat asian.

I'm interested in your "oil sampling".
1. Is your RB25 Stagea a RB25DET?
2. Does it get driven hard or putted around/highway driving?
3. .....edited. Answer found.

To state that Fuch's Titan Supersyn is good for 20,000kms is a pretty big call, and I'd say it would have a lot to do with driving style.

I currently change mine at every 5000-7000kms and it comes out pretty black. If it is possible to run this oil at longer intervals then it would be fantastic, but is it possible?

lol say what?

I managed to find who samples the oil in chuckie's badly punctuated post. WesTrac by CAT aka Caterpiller.

They're run by Caterpiller. They run tests on oil for machinery.

yor not the first person to do UOAs. Post up you results I would like to see what contaminate levels you are getting. I use wearcheck. as for the the oil filter, thats correct - in fact this is true for the air filter also. SO people who change it more often are actually not doing themselves any favours, although most never listen.

Oil filter choice is important, I have found OEM Nissan and K&N to be quite good due to their constuction and materials used.

BTW there is a whoe oil thread for this!

Not necessarily a fob asian. I know plenty of fob euros/white people who talk like that - my friend from germany as an example.

20 000 ks is massive. Keymaker, I agree with you about driving style. Mods too - my car is fairly rich at the moment. When I do my oil change, the oil stinks of fuel, so it must be getting diluted by fuel. That's why I change it fairly often.

I use it all the time. Does the job pretty well. Don't know about the track work side of things though. Seems to take the punishment pretty well.

Lol yeah my comments on english were probably uncalled for, but were written with humour in mind, so no hard feelings. Sorry chuckie. It just helps when posts are more understandable.

As for oil, I might consider changing it at 10,000kms instead of 5000-7000 kms.
I've always been iffy whether I should change it at 10,000kms so I just changed it at 5000-7000kms.

Haha, I was only kidding too matey

Hey chuckie, how did you go with your oil sampling? Any chance of posting up the info you got?
