Either valvoline synpower or prestone dot4, whichever one you find that is the cheapest. They perform almost identically

It's very common and performs well. There is higher performance stuff but at the expense of cost, availablity and resistance to moisture absorption.

+1, in general, higher BP fluids absorb water much faster and thus have to be flushed on a regular basis, which is why they are recommend for track usage mainly. Those cars usually flush fluid after every race day.

i was told by my mechanic to get the motul... its more expensive but he said its worth it... since he works on Skyline GTR's i tend to trust what he says... another guy on the forum found the motul at a local motorcycle shop.
