Toyota V160 Supra 6 Speed Gearbox Oil vs Fuchs TITAN ATF 4400
oilman replied to SUPRA4EVA's topic in mkiv Technical
The ATF4400 will be ideal in a V160 Cheers, Guy -
This is from ACEA, they have put together a list of compatible and incompatible vehicles. Few gaps in it though. https://www.acea.be/uploads/publications/ACEA_E10_compatibility.pdf Cheers, Guy

Interesting, what issues have been reported?
-
Lots of noise around the E10 fuel at the moment. Some say caution needs to be taken, ACEA have even produced a document that lists suitable, and not suitable vehicles. Then... There are others who say it is a non issue. After all the USA have been using E10 since 2012 on all vehicles and they are having no problems. Have a read here https://www.introducinge10petrol.co.uk/introducing-e10-petrol Cheers, Guy

Hi The ones I listed cover the OEM spec and are fine to use. Cheers Tim
-
Due to the gearbox specs I would go for either the Motul Multi ATF, Red Line D4 Fuchs ATF4400, Gulf Multi Vehicle ATF, Castrol ATF Multi Vehicle or Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-1432-atf-automatic-transmission-fluid-for-cars.aspx Cheers Tim
-
Hi Yes, it will be fine. Cheers Tim
-
While that Mobil might be draining slower, it will eventually drain down completely, so by the next morning, there will be no oil. Then as it's thicker, it will take longer to get around the engine when cold, so less cold start protection than the Nanodrive, which is an ester based oil, so it will leave a coating of oil on the parts and not completely drain down. Cheers Tim

Hi They are all very good choices, except I would go for 300V 5w-40, unless you are in a hot climate. I think 1.5L will do the brakes, but I'm not sure on the autobox change capacity. My data lists 1.9L, but that doesn't seem a lot, most autos take quite a lot more than that. Cheers Tim
-
Hi It's more basic, it's not really up to the job. From Motul, the Multi ATF is the one you need. Cheers Tim
-
Hi Thanks for the order. Yes, they will mix with no issues. Cheers Tim
-
Either of those are good options, but the Red Line D4 is the best option. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1025-red-line-d4-synthetic-automatic-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Tim

Hi Gordy There are no offers planned on that so use the code M4SUP for 10% off the website prices. Regards Tim

Hi The diff needs a 75w-90 GL5 oil. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-mtfs-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Gulf Syngear are also good choices. Regards Tim
-
I guess (without having the order number, it's assumption), that the order was over £60, then the ENGINE15 took money off, leaving the total under £60, so shipping would be due. Cheers Tim
-
Hi It takes just over 5L, you you will need the extra litre. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68897-fuchs-titan-race-pro-s-5w-40-ester-fully-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx The free shipping offer is running until midday today. Cheers Tim
-
Hi No worries, it takes 5L. Cheers Tim
-
If heavily modified, then yes, a 10w-50 is fine. For standard or lightly modded cars, a 5w-40 is a better option. Cheers Tim
-
Hi Tom A 10w-50 is ideal for your car and these are the ones that we stock. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx They are all really good oils to pick from and any of them will be fine for it. Cheers Tim
-
That's more suited to a 5 speed box than the 6 speed, unless heavily modified. Cheers Tim
-
I don't deal with Royal Purple, so can't really comment on it, but you need an ATF that meets the Toyota Type 4 spec. Red Line D4 is about as good as ATF gets and others like the Fuchs ATF4400 and Millers SPIII are very well proven. Cheers Tim
-
Hi The Pro R 10w-40 is relatively new, I guess about 6 months old, but I am rubbish with dates. Cheers Tim
-
Hi The 4400 is a higher performance oil and meets the required Toyota spec. The 4000 is a decent ATF, but is a normal oil and doesn't meet the Toyota requirements. Cheers Tim

Hi Marcus If you've got a BPU and it's using oil due to it getting past the seals, a 10w-50 makes sense, but if it's not using oil, I'd stick with 5w-40. I think there is likely to be an offer on 10w-50s soon, so keep an eye on our offers. Cheers Tim
