jdm type r what oil is recomended synthec or reg or 5-30w or 10-30w.

 

uhhhhh, whatever you feel like buying.

 

depends on where you live, weather, miles, what you are doing with the car, etc

 

5W 30 is recommended but u can still use 10 W 30 if you live in warm place

if the motor has never seen synthetic oil. then just stick with regular

 

thats what i dont know if previous owner use synthec. i just put moble1 10w-30 full synthec today..

 

i tried other oils....but the one that works the best for me ( and i know other people who say they feel the difference ) is Mobil 1

I heard that Mobil1 burns REALLY quick.
Whereas other stuff aka, Lucas/Royal Purple. Burns a whole lot less ?

 

mobile one burns up fast ! if ur motor is jdm it prolly has alot of miles on it use a thicker oil 10-40 if ur in warm area or hot area ! castrol full syn is that i use ! stays yellow longer then mobil and doesnt burn as much... try aa couple different oils and c what ur car likes. good luck !

 

if its a jdm motor you have to use jdm oil!!

 

i use mobil1 extended performance 6.50 a quart! ***** killin me, is there any difference betweek just regular synt mobil1 and extended performance if i just go with reg one?&gt;

i would say san diego use 10w30 thats what i been using but i live in both so cal and nor cal so cal humid hot and nor cal is a dry hot(valley) so its pretty damn hot both places

 

i remember there being a long *** thread about this (over 30+ pages), but in the end most people agreed that mobil1 synthetic was the best all around. like others have said, it depends on your location/environment. i have lived all over CA (south, central, and north) and have used 5w-30. 175k miles later...no issues
