for cheap option, shell is a very good oil. cleans better then most ive used, please buy it at the stations as they r too many fake oil selling in the market nowadays. my fave oil gotta be elf / total, especially the molybdenum series, it performs better then most expensive oil out there in term of protection against heat and performance. its a tad more expensive then shell, but worth all ur buck, tak sampai seratus pun..

get the original filter and u'll be fine

Ermmm...my target for changing engine oil is 10k mileage...Oil filter oso 10k???

 

[xtremeleo]

no, oil filter 5k jer kot.. i dont dare exceed dat, even when i was on mobil1. dis oil may exceed 10k km OCI, sum have gone more den dat, but filter is changed around 5k km

chemlube is known for its performance and longer OCI, up to 20,000km (once a year oil change), cheaper then those motul, in the long run. same ester base, but lasts longer

Motul 300V 5W/30 is very good for 350Z, but too expensive. I suggest you use Redline 5w/30, change every 10K, I don't believe those oil that last more than 10K, sorry, no offense.

I suggest always use magnetic type oil filter, can last for 2-3 time oil change.

Redline 5w/30 Oil SRP is RM60 per Gal, but dealer can sell at RM55 or below.

ysl, esters do live a lot longer den any conventional oil. even the mobil1 needs to be changed once a year only, no need to get those expensive oil (especially racing type oil, they r more about lubricity but less detergenty, so usage for long OCI isnt very good) if u r going for a 10k km OCI only, a good cheaper fully synth will do the same job protecting the engine. chemlube costs around 45/liter kot, at least the last time i asked about it ler..

lucas is d oil if u r looking for a racing oil (i dunno y anyone wud want dis for a road car, as i said less detergent, doesnt keep engine clean for long time, but whteck rite..), 60 per liter but will be really worth it if u r aiming for top performance and protection (its full of moly, lol)

According to the book;

4.7 liter - with oil filter change
4.4 liter - without oil filter change

hello Techno350Z,

There is lots of brands to choose. My personal opinion, Motul will do the job.
About the filter, K&N oil filter among the best & recommended choice.
Then you get the magnetic drain bolt nut.
Change oil filter every service...

Regarding the Motul, you might either choose 300V Power (5W-40) or 300V Power Racing (5W-30). Price slightly higher then others but the most recommended among Z friends of mine.

But, if you in budget. You might get option Motul 8100 X-cess (5W-40) or Motul 8100 X-max (5W-30). Price are reasonable for daily ride usage...

Normally performance car they will change oil every 5,000kmkm regardless of type oil.
If you blast your engine 6-7K rpm everyday like track days, it will shorten your oil lifespan.

You have very good ride + powerful + performance... so maintainance will slightly higher then normal car... choose the best then it will clear your mind...

ysl, dat was a good read but from used oil analysis point of view, dat isnt necessarily true

 

[jampeg]

castrol semi-syn oil..is enof for d lady.....

 

[gomez]

yea im using castrol magnatec..so far no problem.. :)

 

[xtremeleo]

be very careful when choosing castrol, there r a lot of imitaion bottles full wit imitation lube out there on the shelves

 

[Techno350Z]

I think I will go for Motul 300V Power (5W-40) when my next chg...Regarding about the petrol,I used to pump Shell Super V-Power Racing and I found that the petrol damn expensive and I can't always pump Shell Super V-Power Racing so I just pump 97 Unleaded petrol...Izzit ok???How about the oil filter???any recomanded selection???Thank and appreciate all the comments by u guys.......

 

[Techno350Z]

Motul 300V Power(5W-40) will cost around????

 

[pangyau]

Motul 300V Power(5W-40) will cost around????

In East Malaysia, the price is RM205/2L.
Probably up to 5%-10% cheaper in peninsular.

But if kinda expensive, maybe you could try MOTUL 8100X-cess 5W-40 (RM126/2L East Malaysia)
Middle range price...

Hope this might help you...

 

[banie]

wats is the different can we see between imitation n ori castrol fluid

 

[xtremeleo]

from the casing? none.. from the oil? none? from the performance? a lot to look at, especially when ur car teberancai after boosting in the afternoon, huhu..

make sure u buy any case of oil from a trusted dealer / shop
