is your motor stock? and have high kms? if so just use normal castrol gtx. really no point in spending crazy money on motor oil on a stock car. but if you have a pretty hefty turbocharger on the motor, try motul, greddy (yes greddy makes motor oil) ---

Running 15w50 mobil 1 right now but next oil change im switching to valvoline durablend as I recently found out mobil 1 is shit and the durablend is pretty much the only other oil on par with royal purple but for far less $$$ But I guess if you love your engine then $$$ aside… .you’d run Royal Purple anyway. ---

I’ve been running Redline 10W-30 since the SR swap, and no complaints at all. Motor runs smoothly, and I also have MT90 running in the trans. Great oil products by Redline, but I’ve been meaning to give Royal Purple a shot with all the hype and reviews it gets. ---

There’s a temperature effeciency range for each oil weight, it’s in your 240sx owners manual. In the extreme cold 10w30 isn’t recommended however for the summer it’s fine. ---
