What type of oil would you use?

[235RX-7GT-C]

Just a funny little Idea I got while watching a motor oil commercial.

What name brand oil is used for the oil change in GT4?
👍

Probably not Redline, since it only costs 50cr to get it changed. Then again, wheels cost 500cr, so maybe it is Redline or Amsoil.

I wonder how much if would be for that Zonda C12-S7.3
That a lot of oil!

Castrol (for their sponsorship of the Castol Supra in GT2 (or was it both GT1 and GT2?).

Oil bill for Zonda wouldn't be as expensive as the bill for fluids for the Veyron:

"According to Dr. Schreiber the 1888kg kerb weight is in fact a dry weight. To get a truer figure you need to allow for 100 litres of fuel, 40 litres of water for engine cooling, 15 litres of water for the twin chargecooler circuit, 20 litres of engine oil, 22 litres for the gearbox and another 15 litres for hydraulics, brakes, etc. That puts the weight closer to 2100kg"

You have to do that in any car, all the ratings for a Kerb weight are with no people or fluids onboard.

...20 litres of engine oil...

For comparison, the 4.7-liter V8 Lexus/Toyota motors use about 7 liters of oil. A Veyron oil change must take some time to drain. I wonder what the manufacturer reccomends for replacement (although most will change it based on time, not mileage)?

No idea, but it was the 22 litres of oil for the gearbox that got me

i use motul in real life haha

I am a Castrol GTX user. Volkswagen told me in the manual, that piece of paper that you should read when you buy a car, that I need to use SAE40, Behavior X, Viscosity n, blablabla.

In GT? It depends. Mineral, Synthetic? Different oil for endurances (Higher durability) and for short races (lower durability but higher heat transfer for example)

 

[red70mach1]

Castrol GTX in my two cars
20W-50 for the Mach 1 (Syntec if Possible)
10W-30 for my Previa LE

 

[Wolfe]

I use Castrol GTX High-Mileage in t3h r34L w0rld, y0. No Syntec for me -- I'd rather have some gunk deposits than an engine that leaks oil, thank you.

I'm not sure what it would most likely be in GT4...you can't go by the advertisements on the real-world tracks, because those match the ones on the real tracks...which brand is featured on the fictional tracks, if there's only one? If there's more than one brand, I think you're SOL.

And yet still does 0-60mph in 2.5s, hits the top speed in under a minute (I think) and is much much faster than a McLaren F1. Amazing.
