Well
I've been using GTX (as in original) in my '75 710 SSS LZ18 engine for 400,000+
miles on original bore & pistons and never had a build up of any sort
-mind you I change the oil on time every time - that's gotta help. It still
hauls like a train. This engine was built to last with forged crank &
pistons etc (not like the crap they build these days) but good servicing is
still a must no matter what level of build. The RB30 engine is also renown to be
one of the toughest engines Nissan built, and it's shelf life is rated at only
400.000 klms.
regards,
Terry
hi, a few times i have come across people using
castrol oil, and have had to rebuild the engine, nothing to
do with the oil, just old age, and noticed every time that
they used this type oil there is a thick sludgy deposit on the
rockers, pushrods, inside rocker cover etc....
any body else come across
this.

Kris,
I'm no Holden expert by any means but most of my mates with them
& 253's) ague this out a lot. Most of them still use good old GTX2
(20w/50) in them as they find the Gen3 oils (and most of them have tried one
of them or another) are too thin and you fill up the oil & check the
petrol. Holden engines of that era just are aren't built to the same
tolerances as even the run of the mill Japanese engine.

Terry
Hi All,
I
have a question regarding oil specs. I have a 308 and the recomended oil
is a 20w50 (using 25w60 at the moment). The new Mobil 1 that is
available is now a 5w50.
My question is; is this oil suitable
considering they are both rated a "50" at operating temp?
One benefit is it will have better start up
protection being only a "5w" and possibly better fuel economy as
well. My only concern was oil pressure at ideal when hot but i`m
assuming there won`t be any difference.
I`m also heading upto Queensland at Easter so
thought it would be good to put it in.
Cheers,
Kris
