nissanman312 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hi guys since supercharging my car i have been running motul 300v 5w 30 and changing it at intervals of 4500miles However I have just been reading that this is very good oil however what I was reading suggested changing out at 3000 mile max Can anyone offer any advice on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I think unless you're tracking it regularly then that's miles overkill. Even 4500 would be a bit excessive in my eyes. That oil is superb stuff, very difficult to buy anything much better, so it doesn't need changing as often. If you were running Generic Cheap-O Oil then sure, change it often, but without tracking it I'd stick to the usual 9K service regime myself.

brillomaster Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I don't know supercharged zed engines, but given how good modern oil is changing it every 3000 miles seems overkill to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Depends on your annual mileage and how the car is driven. If it is only fast road use then 4500 should be good, however 3000 is better but may be overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks guys so look like I'm well on the side of caution at 4500 then The car is used mainly spirited road conditions I coverd over 10000 last year and that's fun miles so to speak no commuting so like to do regular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Told you this on Sunday. 300v is superb stuff but I stopped buying it about 4 years ago and most of the brand fully synthetic ester oils are equally good and cheaper. Gulf, Fuchs,etc 3k is overkill for what use use your car for. 4.5k is good. 6k changes with that oil will still be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know we said it was good stuff just read about changing earlier than I do I assume that's in a motorsport application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
