Motul PA90 and Gear 300, the TRD version of RBF600 (because it's cheaper). Engine oil is all over the shop; usually in the 10w40 range. But this topic has been done to death hasn't it?

 

After track/race orientated feedback not average daily driver. Not trying to find the best oil just distinguish what people are using on track.

Engine: Motul 300v 15w50

Gearbox & Rear Diff: Motul FF LSD Type 2 75w90

Brakes: Castrol SRF

 

Why: I was recommended 300v for the engine many years ago by an original member of Clubsub - have always stuck with it since then. Plus my boss swears by it, and with his involvement with engine building/tuning in various forms of motorsport over the years (and dealing with Subarus) this further backs up my original recommendation.

Used Motul gear oils since I was using the engine oil already and it is apparently kinder on the synchros than the Redline LW shockproof I was using previously.

Castrol for the brake fluid as I haven't had much success with the Motul RBF fluid :-/ (I am pretty hard on brakes though).

We use motul rbf660 for brake fluid. Castrol edge 0w-40 for engine. Lsx90 for diff and syntrax for gearbox. This is with dog box. 

 

Just an fyi, the TRD brake fluid is Motul RBF660 (might be RBF600 as mentioned above. Can't remeber off the top of my head) however it's a shitload cheaper. $25 versus a 35+ I think.

I'm running motul 4100 15w50 for the engine, its a motorbike oil, cheaper than 5100 but same viscosity and I've never had an issue with it (i think there was something else that made it good for a car too, some additive thats in it???)

brakes i run motul rbf 600 or 660, whatever i can get for a good deal at the time

trans is motul gear ff lsd type 2

Rear diff is motul pa90

 

I get a relatively good deal on motul and my engine builder swore by it, Never really ran anything else in my track car as I've never had an issue

Motorcycle oils have no friction modifiers in them as they run wet clutches bathed in engine oil and the modifiers will ruin them. You're far better off running a proper automotive oil.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
