paulj1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Miller's motorsport cfs 10 60 been using it for few years now tried Mobil1 motorsport that was ok but filled with carbon very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Always used Fuchs Titan pro s, first 5w 40 then changed to 10w 50 as its a little thicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Miller's motorsport cfs 10 60 been using it for few years now tried Mobil1 motorsport that was ok but filled with carbon very quickly Millers all the way. A 10w-60 will probably be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor69 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Always used Fuchs Titan pro s, first 5w 40 then changed to 10w 50 as its a little thicker I also use Fuchs Titan pro s 5w40 fully synthetic, I don't like to use anything thicker as it takes time to warm up/thin out and circulate everywhere .....I like my oil to the top when I turn the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richienoble Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 10w60 seems like a real heavy oil for an engine what's the benefits of that heavy of oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 10w60 is too thick for a TT road car. In fact I was advised the same for my current set up too. 10w50 is the max you'd want to go to. I use Millers CFS NanoDrive in that very flavour now and Fuchs Silkolene before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's what Lee put in mine when he serviced it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 What would be the best engine oil to use in a Supra, specifically a single turbo set up? I'm running the Millers Oils NanoDrive CFS 10W/50 at the moment but as it's time for an oil change I thought I'd find out if this was now the best bet before parting with my hard earned... From what I understand about engine oil the 10W/60 actually seems like the best of both worlds (same cold start viscosity, etc but with a higher top-end hot temperature rating), but if there's any specific reason why the 10W/50 is still the one to use I'm open to suggestions. My car is mainly used on the road and occasionally on tracks, if that makes a difference... Cheers! I'd stick with a 10w-50. Going to a 60 will slow the flow rate when hot and that can push up engine temps and increase wear due to localised pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Has anyone found a good alternative to the Toyota V160 oil, possibly something thicker to quieten down the box a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Has anyone found a good alternative to the Toyota V160 oil, possibly something thicker to quieten down the box a little? Chris Wilson recommended the Motul Gear 300, using it in my TT6, did quieten the box.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulj1 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Again I'm using Millers gearbox oil and have been for about 4 years never had an issue with it makes box quieter and shift slicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I had toyota stuff put in my TT6 iirc and it made a massive difference! Very smooth and quiet now. Bloody expensive though! Over £100 if my crap memory serves me right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy B Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Always used Fuchs Titan pro s, first 5w 40 then changed to 10w 50 as its a little thicker Fuchs Titan Pro 5w 40 seems the best for me also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
