Rob Dublin Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 5W/30 will be fine, available at most forecourts/motor factors. Fully synthethic seems to be the preferance on here. 10W/40 would be fine for top ups too. To be absolutely basic about it... 5W/30 is printed on the label.

georigg Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Kimberley, One point a lot of people tend to miss, is the quality of the oil filter at change times. I strongly recommend people to fit an OEM oil filter(ie get one from Toyota), the reason for this is that cheap after-market oil filters tend to have insufficient ability to retain oil in the filter after the enfgine is stopped. Its all to do with a rubber compound "flap" inside the oil filter which prevents oil running back out and in to the sump. Next time you start the engine it needs to fill up the system before you get oil pressure! Cheap after-market ones tend to have either a deficient design of rubber flap or the wrong type of compound to last in an oily environment. If your getting the local Mechanic or Spares shop to d the oil change, make sure they use a good quality oil, there are oils and oils!!!! A good full synthetic oil costs about £28-35 for 4 litres, the cheap end of the market is not worth it, it will knacker your engine! Get however is doing the oil change to tell you before-hand what type of oil he will use, even go to the extent of supplying the oil(and filter) yourself, to make sure a good qhality oil is used. If in doubt, I use Halfords own semi and full synthetic oils respectively in my 1100 CC motorbike...revs to 12000RPM.....often! and car(supra aero). Their quality is up there with the oil majors. I still go for OEM filters though. Hope this helpful to you. Rgds George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 2JZ-GTE Engine Oil (TT Engine on a MKIV (UK or JDM)) 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) I'd recommend the 10w50 Silkolene as it's Ester based unless I was using the car only for short journey's then i'd use the Valvoline. NB: Mobil1 0wxx has been known to get passed the piston rings and cause excessive oil consumption. I would recommened ALL 0wXX oils are avoided. 5W is the lowest I would use. See here for details on how to change your oil. Interval = 3-9,000miles depending on use/power levels 2JZ-GE Engine Oil (NA (Non Turbo) Engine on a MKIV (JDM only)) 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 LSD Diff Oil Stock = Unknown 75w90 Gear Oil Capacity ~1.5L's (have 2L's Ready) 75w90 - Motul Gear 300 or Silkolene Syn5 I recommened either of the two listed - both have been used without issue. Interval = 2 Years / 30,000miles depending on use/power levels See here for details on changing diff oil. Manual 6-speed V160/161 Gearbox Stock = Toyota V160 oil (PART No. 08885-01306) Capacity 1.8l's when dry Toyota V160 Oil (comes in 1L cans - require 2 cans) Esso Dextron D21065 I recommened you stick with stock Interval = 2 Years / 30,000miles depending on use/power levels Automatic 4-speed A340E Capacity = 8.2L's (But you can only really change what's in the sump of it and that is ~2L's) Stock = Toyota Type-IV - 2L's for a quick change. Have 10L's ready for a full flush. I recommend you stick with stock oils Interval = 1 years / 15,000 miles per 2L quick change with heavy use. 2 years and 30,000miles if you're a light user. NB: You only need to do a full flush if something is wrong....it could actually be harmful to do too many full flushes due to the additives in the oil. Brake Fluid Stock = Dot 4 I recommend DOT 5.1 Capacity ~1.5L's (Have 2L's ready) DOT 4 = Motul RBF600 DOT 5.1 = Motul RBF600, Castrol SRF Interval = Every 12months (also after any track day!) Power Steering Fluid Stock Dexron III ATF I recommend you stick with Dexron III oil but all makes should be suitable Capacity Interval = ??? To fully Flush it see here Clutch Fluid Stock = DOT3 Brake Fluid Capacity = Under 1L?? Interval = ??? I recommend you stick with stock or use a DOT4/5.1 Brake Fluid. Coolant Stock = Toyota 4Life Red Capacity ~9L I recommend you stick with Toyota Coolant. Interval = 30,000miles This should help you with a coolant change. NB: 4Life changes colour as it get older, when it starts to turn a more browny red compared to it's vibrant red when new then it needs to be changed. Also 4Life comes premixed and needs no other liquids mixed with it. The authour and site take no responsibility for your action/inaction following your reading of this FAQ...it's here as a guide.
