any recommendations for oil in the sr20 for road race? i was thinking running castrol gtx 20w50 (like i did in all my other cars), and using a k&n oil filter when at the track... go or no go? thanks

 

Hey, same guy! Anywho.....same ol' thing I said: 5W30 Mobil 1 and a OEM Nissan filter.

 

hey bro! good to see you're on here too. thanks. didn't see the post on sr20forum yet

 

mobil 1, 20w50 w/k&n oil filter. No temp problems so far..... just pad temp problems..

 

i run 15w40 valvoline, or castrol non synthetic, only because i dont know if synthetic was run in the motor in japan or not, and i dont want to create any problems.

 

Run a Royal puple synthetic if the motor is raced alot with a OEM Nissan Filter, Recommend 10w30, i had it in my SR and had no problems

 

20w50 non synthetic

synthetic is BAD for ball bearing turbos.

 

wow, oem nissan filters are the choice pic eh? don't recommend fram, or k&n, or any other brand? as for the synthetic being bad for ball bearing turbo's... anyone else had experience on that? i'm pretty sure my gt25r turbo is ball bearing...

 

yes it is, and it will cut down the life of your turbo by about 1/2

 

how is that?

also heard good things about amsoil and turbos
