What the topic says, what brand and type of oil to use is my car? It's now just done 80000kms if that makes any difference.
thanks
EDIT:
OH, and is they're a detailed explanation of how to remove the Resonator from the stock airbox anywhere on this site?
Do not remove the resonator from your ITR! U'll loose power! :PQuote:

Is there anything you can do to a ITR to MAKE power?????
I dun think mobil 1 is the best. coz its too think for type r and I reckon 5w-40w or 5w-30w is the more fit for the R. but anyway, i'm using Motul 300V 5w to 40w and it just so......good!!
If you're willing to pay $80 every 5000 kms for Mobil 1, go for it. If not, pay $45 for Castrol Formula R 5w-30 and you'll be just as happy. I've been using it for a while now and my car has never burned oil when using it. And I really mean never burned oil. Only time it has is at the track, and even then its very little.
I have seen this oil for a while on the shelf and the pack look is pretty godod but never bare to try. u said u'll be just happy with that. so it must be doin' a good job but in what sort?? I mean better reponse? or what??Quote:

It's fully synthetic. I've had mobil 1 in my car before but burnt a little, car felt the same as when i had castrol formula r, but with castrol I don't burn oil. I went from Honda FEO 10W-30 -> Mobil 1 5w-50 -> Castrol Formula R 5w-30. Then tried Mobil 1 but found that Castrol did the same job as the Mobil at a much lower cost.
Would Castrol R work as good with a DC2
Please tell me where i can get 300V 5W-40 in Melboure, thanksQuote:

slim, there is a few viscosity grades for formula R. Your probably using the 10 - 60 which is the one I used prior to my previous oil change.Quote:

I also notice that I burn a bit more oil with Mobil 1 than the castrol but they both work ok for me.
Having said that, the main reason I wouldn't buy 10 - 30 or 0 - 40 grade (which some people recommend) of Mobil 1 is that it costs like $20 a litre!
and bruce...why do you think mobil 1 is too thick for itr?
no, not using 10w60... i would have thought that was a tad on the thick side for our cars. i've been using formula r 5w-30. i'd like to buy it for $45 a bottle too ;)
