Oils aint Oils

[maccavr4]

Well today i am planning a oil change and oil filter

As winter is upon us now what oil would you be use? spare no cost i will use top notch oil if you guys think its the bomb

also how much oil does a 4g63 Evo engine hold and will autobarn,kmart,supercheap, Repco, have the oilfilter that i need and the right oil

thanx for any help that is givin

 

[JSTYLE]

I use either:

Fuchs 5-30w Full Sythentic RRP $80 (5 litres, all the porsches use this)
or Shell 5-30w Full Sythentic RRP $60 (5 litres)

Filter to use would be the: Ryco Z411 $12

Plugs to use: NGK BP6ES

Where to get this stuff?

Autobarn or Repco or Supercheap

Evo motor holds around 4.3 litres of oil (inc oil cooler).

Fuchs Super Titan 10W40 is what I used with best results all year round, along with Proma MBL8 to shut the lifters up of course :lol:

hey mack,

me and 6III are using

ACDelco filer (Z411) @ $4.25

and Elf Competition GT 10W-40 Semi Synthetic @ $25

with no dramas here.

We just made the switch from Castrol Magnetic.

help

THis post is on behalf of maccavr4.

He went out today and got motul 5W40 oil. he also got the oil filter that you guys recommened and he says it was way to small. (z411). His old one was a Z142A. Is there a reason why he has this filter? is it because its an evo engine? Are you sure about the spark plugs?

You can either use a Z411 or Z142a.. doesnt really matter. The 411 is smaller yes and most people who have a bigger dump pipe use the 411's.

In regards to the plugs people use different. I have no problems with running NGK BP6ES.

Ive been told that the factory oil filter on a mitsubishi is a Ryco item. All other oil filter brands are inferior to ryco!!! I know cos i had afew break on me!!!

[maccavr4]

ok so it wont hurt to use the smaller one

cheers jon

 

[GSRSOL]

Ive found a shorter one than the z411....... by at least an inch!

 

[Skankyjoe]

I run motul 10w-40 in mine myself, ryco filters all the way....most of the time

I've been using castrol Edge 10W60, does the treat i think but its a bit pricey

 

[jett]

Mobil Synth S - Synthetic oil that isn't ridiculously expensive ~$30/5L

Plus I don't agree that such a thin oil should be used on such old motors... 10W/40 would be the lowest I would go.. If you change your oil frequently ~5000kms then a cheaper oil is completely adequate.... Perhaps if you don't change your oil for 15,000kms or race your car every weekend then you can justify spending $100 an oil change... but apart from that its just silly.

i use castrol gtx 3 15-40 in my 4g93

 

[Rusty]

it costs me $10 for a genuine filter
