- break-in dipstick discussion engine oil
Nothing yet. Filter looks new, but i fitted a gen filter 6months previous. Dealer says the oil they use couldve been a dark colour.
Really? That is insane. Dark oil is contaminated oil. Like you've already suggested, time for a different dealer. Can you post a photo of what is on your dipstick?
It's amber or golden when changed. If they don't change the oil filter as required it will quickly turn to dark brown of black.
Currently running Liqui Moly Top Tec 6100 0W-30. So far ~5k km and running very well.
Haven't tried the Cera Tec additive yet, but this video might give you an answer:
Thank you for the info and video.
I've already watched the video (his YouTube Channel is very informative). I've searched in the forum and couldn't find anything about Cera Tec, so I thought I ask you guys.
I wrote an email to Liqui Moly and asked if we can use Cera Tec for i30N, they have confirmed it.

Hello guys! I live in Greece and the last time I had track day was when outside had around 30 degrees Celsius. So the car reached 136 degrees after two-three pushed laps.
I am planning to go track again, but with lower temperature outside and I was thinking of using Motul 300v 5w 40 or Pakelo racing 0w 40, to have better protection against high temperatures. What are your thoughts? I have heard that Pakelo has very good results too. Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend better cooling, bigger intercooler, and oil cooler. for example:

Although something is fishy I've never seen so high oil temperature, in my car it was 120 degree max.

You are totally right.
My car is tuned (stage 2) and I suppose it's one of the reasons of having such high temperatures. The other is that I went during summer, which is really hot in Greece.
I dont want to install an oil cooler, because unfortunately it is mounted in front of the oil cooler of dct and I don't want to have problems with it, even though they say it's ok.
When I had the prefacelift model, I had oil cooler installed and it was very helpful indeed.
I ll try to have my pushed laps earlier, in order to prevent going so high. Plus Motul 300v oil and I hope I ll be better.
We LL se on February!
In my opinion, not the oil temperature is your problem. A modern synthetic oil is able to handle 136 °C or even more, easily and it will not disintegrate or burn away.
Your problem is: the engine temperature in general, is too high, the measured oil temp is just an indicator. Your engine will wear out mush faster it will age much faster, it will break down much more often.
