Hi again.

While in the process of replacing this head gasket, thought i might get some feed back on what sort of oil i should be running with my 4G93t.

Spec: eagle rods, cp pistons, arp etc etc...

Also, should i use a factory oil filter or should i be going after market?

Cheers

PM me if you have been through this already

Cheers :thumbsup:
 
I have always used fully synthetic 70 weight oil (yes thicker) in all my turbocharged cars.
I currently use penrite 10W-70, the higher the second number the better it retains its properties under high heat conditions. Turbo = higher heat.... makes sense to me...
I did stray once.... to a synthetic 40 weight oil, engine was really noisy, dumped the oil the very next afternoon (engine was at 100thousand kms at that stage).
I use after market oil filters in the factory location...
I also use the coolest (temp wise) thermostat i could get my hands on, think its about 79 degrees celcius
 
i use after market ryco filters and have used an oem one - i cant tell the differnce though i never get the oil or filter tested after a change.

as long as your changing oil and filter every 5000kms you should be ok.


oil wist im using the nulon 10-40 from memory and seems to be ok so far but i have a very fresh engine still (under 10 000kms)
