I just looked at a add for greddy brand engine oil!

"GR-1 is our flagship version. Ideal for big turbo and high horsepower, while still maintaining smooth oil pressure during rapid accelerations. A must for high boosting t88 owners. (2.0l and larger motors)"

"GR-2 is our turbo and euro blend. Ideal for hot, tight engine compartments. It also features very stable oil molecules to improve valve lash noise. A perfect match for GReddy bolt-on turbo kits. (1.6-3.0l motors)"

"GR-3 is made specifically for normally-aspirated, high revving engines like VTAK!!! Hondas. It helps smoothes VTEC transitions and reduces friction throughout the RPM range. Especially useful for engines with high lift camshafts. (1.3-2.5l motors)"

GR-1 is 10w60 GR-2 is 5w40 GR-3 is 5w30.

So what do u guys think? it is synthetic oil but do u think they make it or some other oil company make it and greddy puts there name on it? Dont know any prices yet.

I think their claims are retarded. No oil is going to 'smooth VTEC transition'. Not like Greddy even makes or specs this oil, they buy it from someone else (like Agip, Mobil, etc) and triple the price by putting it in a Greddy bling bottle. Who knows what sort of base stocks they use. I would stick with a reputable synthetic oil brand.

I'm Castro, but they claim they've been making this oil for there race cars for alone time now. We need a independent test now

Doodoo

I recently used some Tomei Gear oil on an 86 corolla, that **** is like syrup for pancakes! It even smelled better than the local 80W90. I don't know where they source it but it is not like the US blends to me at least. JDM honey!!
