Which What SR SR20DET Oil Should I Use?

[AadosX]

I searched but couldn't find the answer through all of the other random threads that came up. Which oil should I use in my S13 Redtop SR20DET? I drive kinda hard, its anywhere in between 20 and 100 degree's here, and I have some mild mods like a new turbo, still 8 psi though.

Thanks,
John

i have a stock redtop and i run mobil-1 10w30 synthetics in mine.

I would recomend nor Royal Purple or Red line. I use Redline 10w30. I hear Jiffy Lube has the best oil , but I recomend using your own oil filter.

[DRFT]

you should use JDaMsoil

[AadosX]

So it's definitely 10W30?

try to use the factory nissan, k&n, or mobil-one oil filter's, too. i've used all of them and they're all pretty good. fram sucks.

Jiffy Lube has the best oil?? I think they use Penzoil or Valvoline cheap stuff...

I only trust Castrol GTX in my motors and I have put thousands of hard miles on many turbo cars wtihout any problems.

10-30W will work fine, 20-50W would work great on a race day (actual track racing, not just having fun)

Wow, I thought that would'nt convince anyone, I guess I was wrong. I used to use nothing but castol GTX when I had a Ka, its the best of the cheap oils...

ps: Its penzoil I used to work at Jiffy lube.

0w30 oem for BMW PORSCHE MERCEDES

3-4 quarts of 0w5 Vegtible oil, its great for constipation, and it really clear the exhaust sys and increases compression and exhaust flow, so you can go farting along just like a honda.

i use 10w50 cuz i just drive it to autocrosses and drift events..so yeh.

I use Mobil one for my S14 SR20DET (5W50 from memory). Most people I speak to say it's the best to use, and I would agree.

Use synthetic with a power enterprises oil filter. Filtration is better than regular filters plus it has a magnet to attract metal shavings
