Been using valvoline synpower 5w 40, but on my last oil change I decided to give Penrite hpr5 a go, so far no problems, runs pretty smooth and cheaper to

Any difference in oil pressure or oil temp?

Unfortunately I can't tell since I also relocated my oil pressure gauge to tee into the oil pressure switch and my oil temp to the oil pan on that oil change to make way for an oil cooler

went from royal purple hps 10w40 to motul h-tech 100plus 10w40 mainly due to frequency of oil changes and $$ (starting to get really into track days haha)

Tbh RP is pretty overrated and exxy (~$100 for 5L) and h-tech (~$60 for 5L is a good fully synthetic (NOT A GROUP 3 - was speaking to motul rep at work).

Sadly h-tech only comes in 5L and the ep3 takes ~5.5L haha

I've got gauges so I'll report any noticeable differences between the two on my next track day next sat

My EP3 is getting pretty rough torque steer, shaking left to right when on full throttle.... Any suggestions what could be the problem? (Tires? Camber?)

what size wheels and tyres and how recent was last alignment?

Think it could be caused by balancing problems too

I'm running 17x9+35 at the fronts with 225/45 with negative -1.5 camber
17x8+32 at the rears with 215/40 with natural camber.

Got wheel alignment as soon as these wheels went on.

Bump steer is also pretty rough...

Maybe I need the same sized tyres all around?

whats your steering rack angle like? if youre lowered and running -1.5, and rack may be angled like a knt it might be whats exacerbating bump/torque steer that youre feeling. ep3 got no torque tho lul

simple but did u check tyre pressures and wheels balanced

I'm running Todd's Tie Rods and their toe adjustable so I don't think the steering rack is the problem. My tyre pressure is at 40 psi all around but I'll be sure to go get a wheel balance check.

It depends on what oil filter you use. If you use a Z547 (same as OEM) it will be between 4.5-5L

If you use a Z79A, it will be between 5-5.5L
