Ian W Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 deep purple? isn't that a crappy 70s/80s band? Royal Purple is good on the other hand or try Silkolene Pro S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Depends on use, age ,milage etc...Best speak to the oilman I think theres a link in the traders section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 toyota do a 10-40 own branded oil in their parts department which is reasonably priced and as good as the stuff its seen previously i would imagine, but there are plenty of opinions of better oils on here........

chilli Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Silkolene Pro S 10w-50 is the recommended stuff isn't it, that's what I am using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 2JZ-GTE Engine Oil Stock = 10w30 Semi Synthetic I recommend Fully Synthetic 10w40/50 Dry Capacity 6.5L's Change capacity 5-6L's (Have 6L's ready) Regular Driving - BPU or Less 5w40 - Silkolene Pro S, Castrol RS, Motul 300V Power 5w50 - Valvoline VR1 SynPower, AGIP PC5w-50 Regular Driving - BPU to Big Power 10w40 - Motul 300V Chrono, Royal Purple Racing 41 10w50 - Silkolene Pro S 10w60 - Castrol RS (NB Untested) Track Oil 15w50 - Silkolene Pro R, Motul 300V OR 2JZ-GE Engine Oil Stock = 5w30 Semi Synthetic I recommend Fully Synthetic 5w30-10w40 Dry Capacity 6.2L's 5w30 - Motul 300V 5w40 - Motul 300V, Silkolene Pro S Change capacity 4.8-5.8L's I'd recommened Silkolene Pro S 5w40. Being less stressed that the GTE version any Fully Synthetic oil between a 5w30 and 10w40 should suffice. Interval = 9-12,000miles depending on use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
