oil change

[bakerman1978]

hey guys I'm about to do my first oil change and i was just wondering if mobile 1 is ok to use or if i should go with royal purple, the car is stock with intakes and turbo back exhaust and is only used on the street, also i read the fluid sticky and i seen one post that said 5.3 ltrs and another with 4.7 ltrs of oil is 5.3 only if you have an oil cooler thanks in advance

royal purple is garbage imho but do some searching on here. i only use motul or amsoil. and im pretty sure its 4.7 without a oil cooler.

that sucks hopefully it's not related to the castrol or is it

no no no. i get exellent oil pressure and head sounds smooth. im almost certain its fuel pump. its just running lean.

Mobil 1 5w-30 has been fine with me, excellent cold compression, smooth. It's more than 4.7L with a filter change, since I have to buy a 4.7L gal containter with another small quart to fill up (but I fill to the bottom of the hump).

So when I'm doing my oil change if I don't have a aftermarket oil cooler what amount of oil will I need?

And btw I thought there were fluid quantities in the Gtr tech section stickied, what happened to that?

I'm bone stock so you can use my quantity as a reference. As for the sticky, I don't recall one on engine oil, specifically. The misc drivetrain fluid sticky is still there though.

Since I work for them, I don't support their **** (mobile)

However I was on amsoil for some time. Good stuff. Recently upgraded to royal purple xrp. I watch alot of speed tv and it seems that's all they use lol. I have a 9L+ capacity but still change oil every 5000km. I run 5 or 10-40 when available. When I was low power/oem I used amsoil 5-40 European turbo car oil. Bout 20,000km

Wait, do you DON'T use a product that the company you work for produces? For personal or technical reasons?

In any case, why are you still working there!?

4.7l of in in an rb26 is way too much

i run a 240sx oil filter and it only takes in 4.0....4.5l is way past the max line
