jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 4m 7d Posted 14/11/14 11:41 AM Share Posted 14/11/14 11:41 AM Oil brand,viscosity , service intervals... All could be a factor. Some guys run 0w and 5w weight oils. Theses things are designed for 10 - 15 w oil. Especially in high load application.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 4m 7d Posted 14/11/14 08:14 PM Share Posted 14/11/14 08:14 PM Itll be noisy then..Factory tolerances in these engines demand a heavier viscosity.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 15/11/14 12:14 AM Share Posted 15/11/14 12:14 AM (edited) Can only speak from experience myself but I run Castrol Edge 0w-40 as used by my tuner XFT for about 175,000km now and I flog my car hard, regularly, with almost a quarter million km on it now. I'm addicted to boost. Still hammers! Only last service I did I changed to Edge 5w-40 as it was on super special Can't comment on noise as this is the only barra turbo I've spent much time in, but I think regular changes with decent oils determine longevity. I do oil+filter at 7,500km intervals.Only issues I've had in the engine were worn timing chain skipping a tooth, picked up when I had them install new valve springs. Still drove fine, which is not necessarily a good thing hahaha. Edited 15/11/14 12:15 AM by -Stever- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have gone from their 15w-50 race stuff to 10w-50 but still not happy with. Never had noise with the Nulon 10w 40. It's fine when warmed up, just top end chatter when cold. I am running the PAC springs though which are 100lb seat. Think I'll go back to the Nulon next change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 19d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 15/11/14 05:43 AM Share Posted 15/11/14 05:43 AM Changed my oil a cupla weeks ago. Had Castrol Edge 10/60 (I think it was) in it but I couldn't get any in town - both suppliers were out of stock - so I put Nulon 10/40 back in it and I now have a top end rattle..Have no idea what is actually making the noise and only lasts about 2 minutes and then shuts up but I will be keeping an eye on it.
