which oil/filter???
- Thread starter GSR Hulk

Help Support 4GTuner:
the Ralliart ones are around $100 each , but are magnetic , ( I do use it in my evo , but it only does 2000kms a year if that ), so my yearly service cost it usually $125 for oil and $100 for a filter
I prefer the Genuine MD356000 = $15.50 each inc GST
most of the rycos that have failed that Ive seen have been a poor fit , and a missing rubber seal
but as Rob said the flow rate could increase or decrease causing it to have a potential fail internally also, or creating blow by effect

I've often wondered why you would bother with a magnetic filter?
If your motor is far enough gone to be shedding steel bits then it's pretty much stuffed anyway.

I use genuine(use the ralliart ones on run in though) on the evo and K&N on my falcon.
I dont mind ryco, a little known fact, if your engine blows due to a ryco filter they will pay for the repairs on the engine.
Gianni, the ralliarts also have a much finer filter inside them as well as the magnet

I have always used Ryco filters and never had an issue.
I am also about to change to Valvoline VR1 10w40 in the VR4.. (Was to be 20w50 but the kind folk at the store ordered he wrong oil. But it should be fine still)

i use VR1 10w40 in mine and runs great
Good article from Forced Performance, more for the turbo guys but good info, its more on the oil they can easily get in the US. Basically what you want is an oil with good phosphorous and zinc content.
That why i use the Penrite 10W50 at the moment, Says Zinc enhanced so I’m assuming the levels are high, id love to find out what they are compared to some of the oils on FP’s list. The Valvoline VR1 is good for this as well.

i like the penrite as well, i think its the extra anti oxidants and the acidophilus

ive found that if you can get it to the point where the oil is spotless when you change it, it will be between 3-5k km before it gets dark.
Hahahaha ill definatly be using this oil from now on then :lol:
No matter which oil filter I use, I always throw on a small high powered magnet from a computer hard drive on the end of it. Hell, even the Nimbus got a magnet on its oil filter too after its engine rebuild :lol:
Im also using a magnetic sump drain plug as well. The magnets have been used on both engines since their rebuilds and there's no harm in continuing to use them.
With a small turbo oil feed reducer in place for the garret, a little bit of precaution is better than none at all
