RB26DET 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Royal Purple 10w 40 i think the weight is with mine. made the switch from Motul and don't regret it one bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFUNK 35 Posted March 15, 2010 how many k's on the clock? 10w40 is probably a bit thin for the age/km's of your engine, assuming its got over 100k on the clock id use castrol edge sport 10w50 but yeah if its low km 10w40 will be ok, especially for winter For now go with Nissan recomended oil 7.5/30 genuine nissan fill up 5 litres in the meantime head over to SAU and see what others are using maybe if the engine was brand new...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RB26DET 0 Posted March 16, 2010 I was thinking of going 10 50 however having just clicked over 65k i figured it should be right and jesus did it make a difference. the engine itself felt smoother (slightly) witin 2 services the oil is draining out alot cleaner to compared to that 300V Chrono that i used to use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt_honan 1 Posted March 22, 2010 motul 300v chrono 10w40 seems to be the go, ive had no drama's with it ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RB26DET 0 Posted March 23, 2010 Its not a bad oil however when i was buying it, it was $94 or so for a 4litre bottle... which meant i had to buy two lol i am paying $98 for a 5 litre bottle of Royal Purple and i noticed a big difference in the two, the oil drains alot cleaner now (after the first 2 cycles of RP) it alwasy drained veyr very dirty when using the 300V. also doesn't mean much but the engine feels to be a little more free revving now with RP compared to 300V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
