-Explained Series -

I often hear a customer mention that they do not like the long-life service schedule that their car is supposed to use as standard, so they want to do an interim oil change. We sell oils, so we have no issue in selling an oil for the job, but I will point out that they might not benefit from the oil change.

Some modern cars list service schedules of up to 25000 miles or 2 years and while that might seem like a very long time for an oil to be in the car, it really depends on the use that a car is getting. If the car is used for regular long drives, like motorway use, then the oil is having an easy time and the long-life service schedule is fine with that. Using the car for shorter trips, like a short school run, a couple of miles to work, then repeat the same later that day, means that the oil is not getting warm enough to evaporate off any water or fuel that has accumulated in the oil. The build up of fuel and water in the oil, leads to sludge accumulating in the sump. So even if the car only does something like 8000 miles in 2 years, the oil can be in a much worse state than in a car that has done over 20000 miles.

If you are going to use a long-life service schedule, you need the right oil, one that meets the manufacturer’s specifications for the longer interval. The oils aimed at those specifications will generally have a higher dose of additives than ones aimed at standard servicing, and those additives will help the oil to perform as it should throughout the service period.

If you want to service your car more often than the long-life schedule, you may still need to use one of the long-life specification oils. With a lot of the long-life specifications, as well as being suitable for the extended service period, they will also meet emission standards for particulate filters.

If the car is under warranty, then an interim service can be tricky – you can’t just drain and replace the oil and filter yourself, as it may invalidate the warranty. You would need to take the car to a garage that meets the standards for warranty requirements.

Shoutout to Kes from Dream LTeam Racing and his monster of an R35 GTR!

Kes has just had a very successful season winning 3 out of the 4 Time Attack races he’s entered this year, we look forward to seeing how far he can go next season.

Currently running a list of performance oils such as React Performance SRF for the brakes, Millers Oils Motorsport NT+ formula for its engine oil and Motul Gear Competition 75W140 for the diff, it’s an unbeatable combination.

The "W" in Engine / Gear / Diff oil stands for winter.
With the first number in the Oil classification referring to cold weather viscosity, the lower the number is, the less viscous the oil will be at lower temperatures.
For example, a 5W- Engine / Gear / Diff oil will flow better at lower temperatures than a 15W- oil at lower temps.

For a next edition, this falls as a customer favorite for oil advice. The iconic Nissan GT-R R35! With the VR30DDTT & VR38DETT plus 2 differentials.

The GT-R holds 5.5L for the engine with some premium oils at the forefront of choices. 3 engine oils that qualify and excel are:
🏁 Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 Advanced Fully Synthetic Engine Oil
🏁 Motul 300V Trophy 0w-40 Ester Synthetic Racing Car Engine Oil
🏁 Millers Oils XF Premium 0W-40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

As for the gearbox, DCT Fluid is the answer with a whopping 10L!
🏁 Fuchs Titan DCTF Performance Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid
🏁 RED LINE ATF DCTF Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid
🏁 Motul Multi DCTF Synthetic Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid (Dry & Wet)

Why have 1 diff when you can have 2, right? 🤷‍♂️ With 1.5 Litres on the rear & 0.7 Litres on the front, 3L of oil is an ample amount to get going.
🏁 Castrol TRANSMAX Limited Slip LL 75W-140 Fully Synthetic Hypoid Gear Oil
🏁 Gulf Competition Racing Oil 75w-140 LS - Racing gear and final drive oil
🏁 Millers Oils NANODRIVE CRX LS 75w-140 NT+ Fully Synthetic Transmission Oil
