johnny g Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 PM oilman with details of your car (power levels, mileage, etc) and he'll recommend an oil for you. He has forgotten more about oil than I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 cheers ive sent him an email, gonna phone my local toyota just for giggles and see what nonsense they come out with too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Called toyota and as i thought they just dribbled sh*t. Didnt ask me what gearbox it was and magically came up with an oil. Gave them this part number: 08886-82025 for the v160 replacement oil and should have it in a few days. My recomendation, only phone them when you know exactly what you want, dont take their recomendations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 i tried to track down the V160 oil from Toyota they came back and said its discontinued and gave me a replacement one. Didnt feel safe ordering it as they didnt even ask what car it was for. Id rather go with Opie Oils replacment or Just buy the right stuff Off Paul.

monsween Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=190500&highlight=Gearbox+oil Got the part number from this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The only thing that can put anyone off buying Pauls V160 is maybe the cost? When you look at the service interval though and the frequency and cost associated with engine oil changes over the same time/mileage then its relatively cheap............it probably won't make so much difference using something else thats good quality but then for the sake of £30 why bother?
