Thanks. One more question, if you don't mind...
Tha car has Mobil 1 in the engine at present - do I need to do an engine flush when I fill up with the Silkolene?
Don't flush, just drain and refill

Simon
So no point buying some of this flush stuff when doing an oil change?
I heard something about doing an engine flush helps clean the tappets or something! Was that a load of bollox??:D
ThanksQuote:

I know its not a nissan and not exactly performance orrientated but can you recomend me some oil for my run about;

Hello oilman :wave: I need your help.
Im about to service my 180sx and need a recommendation on which oil to get.

I drive the car on regular short journeys approx 10min drive to work and back etc. Letting the car warm up a bit first before each drive. I like to give the car some stick every so often.
Im just off to stratford-upon-avon this friday 14th and will be doing a couple runs on the 1/4mile :ghey: which is the main reason for my oil change.
EDIT - Which oil filter i need off your site would be awesome too :)
Thanks in advance

I would go for the Pro S 10w-50 as tops.
Filters are not a problem, either call us to order or go for it online at my website.

You can use the Pro S no problem, may be quality over kill though.

Toyota Soarer JZZ30, this has got the 1JZ engine in it (2.5L straight six twin ceramic turbos).
Its a '92 J plate, also any idea how much it takes? :D
Cheers,
Dunc.
Dunc,
I would go for the Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 if it is going to be used on track.
It will take 5ltr.
Cheers
Guy.
Cheers mate should have some lying around :thumbs:
Simon,
Make: Nissan
Model: 200SX (14a)
Year: 99
Engine Size: 2L
Engine Type: Turbo
Any Mods: Stage 1 (See sig)
Type of driving: Daily commute of 8 miles each way and a little bit of fast road every now and then!
When I originally bought her she was being ran on 0-40 to stop the top end rattle but I put in 10-60 thinking it may calm it down as 0-40 was too thin?!
I take it Pro S 5-40 would be the best recommendation as it has thinner startup values and the temp should be fairly normal every day.
Yes, looking at the use I would go for 5w-40, the Pro S will be ideal.
Regards
Guy.
what do you recon to valvoline vr1 5w 50, been using it for about 6 months, used to use silkolene pro s 10w 50 but got much worse vvt rattle, seems very quiet lately with the valvoline, but it's a bit cheap so am worried by reading this post. mines a s14a stage 2 driven hard, when its warm of course, sometimes sustains high rpm aswell if running fast in top gear, recomendations?
