Which oil for VVEL
Hi Guys, I'm sure there's already lots of talk about which oil to use in these engines, I'm just wondering about a Nissan ester oil equivalent as it isn't available here in NZ i.e Mobil 1 5w30 / Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30 / Penrite 10 Tenths Racing5 5w30 / Motul 300v 5w30. Any recommendations? The Penrite looks really good as it is 100% Pao Ester Synthetic. I want something that's going to keep VVEL system in good shape and something I can walk into a shop and buy rather than order the Nissan Ester oil from overseas. cheers

I'm not sure what's meant by the "FULL ZINC" on the label, but if they mean zinc dithiophosphate, I'd steer clear if your car is equipped with catalytic converters.

i probably wouldnt be able to get a titan filter off the shelf. I could probably get one from ebay etc. Here in NZ we dont get the Nissan Titans which is a shame, i would love to have the 5.6 V8! The closest thing we have to that engine in a Nissan is the Nissan Fuga 450GT which is the JDM version of the Infiniti M45

The Motul 300V would be my recommendation out of those options. I've used it before track days and on regular oil changes but its super pricey in North America and wouldn't use it for regular oil changes again due to cost
I use Redline and have noticed it to be noticeably quieter than Royal Purple. I'm not sure if that helps at all or if Redline is even available to you.
