A dlai, Ive also used mobile 1 and found that it burnt quite quickly. Same with a few other users too. Nulon does seem to last longer though. However, I do an oil change every 3 mths/2500k's anyways because I have nothing but time..lol

What diff and trans oil you guys using?
Jooboo, for transmission I'm using honda MTF because my gearbox still feels pretty good. But I'm going with castrol saf-xa for the diff again, because I used it first my 4.77FD was quiet, changed to OEM after 1000kms and it started whining like crazy.
royal purple for the engine, went to hanny's and they replaced my diff with elf. My tranny has redline and it works a charm

Interesting..
So after reading ABSOULUTLY EVERYTHING, ive come to the conclusion as a noob poster that these following are the ones too look out for:
- Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40
- Mobile 1 10-30
- Nulon 10w-40
- Royal Purple 10w-40
Gonna buy some oil tomorrow, anyone wanna rank which ones better?
After all the bitching I've had, I'm just gonna stick with Royal Purple 10W-40, because it serves me well! My car barely burns it out/off (whatevs lol). Also I found it for cheaper than my usual.
As the recommended viscosity of oil is roughly 10w-30.
Do people here sway more to 10w-40 during summer when it can get up to 40 degrees at times
It doesn't really matter. Buy based upon your engine. If it is burning then thicker viscosity. Whatever works for you!
also depends on your budget, royal, motul and mobil are all over $80 where the Nulon is like $35Quote:

Quick question.. I just serviced my car and use Castrol Edge Sports 5-30w, however Castrol don't stock Sports anymore so it's no Castrol Edge Titanium 5-30w. Do you think it would be okay to top up with Castrol Edge Titanium?
