Guest TT Supraman Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I have a 1993 UK TT Supra. It says in the manual use 10w30 oil, is this correct or is there something better? Also does it matter about the manufacturer of the oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale B Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 It all depends on whether its stock or modified mate. If you do a search you find lots of posts about oil....a lot of them quite recent. I use Valvoline 5-50..Envy used to have a good deal on this oil, give them a bell and see what they can do. Im sure you'll get lots more replies on this subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 30 sounds a bit low... I thought it was 40 in the manual?! You can use 50 in hot/racing conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TT Supraman Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I have a standard UK TT auto, which oil should I use for it? Also what about summer oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I use Valvoline Synpower at 10w40, Toyota use Mobil 1. You want thinner oil for winter so you dont need to warm the engine as much before pushing it, and thicker oil during hotter/racing conditions.

Synpower's called VR1 now I believe...I use the same, but a bit thinner 5w50. My local Toyota garage used shell helix (took that straight out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkm Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hello everyone,A mate of mine uses Millersoil CFS 10w60 and swears by it.designed for competion & modded motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TT Supraman Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 So you think I should use 5w50 then for a UK TT Auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Don't forget the "oilman". Some great quality oils by Silkolene, Motul, Castrol, Mobil, Fuchs etc and at good prices. I would look at 5w-40 for a stock roadcar, 10w-50 or 15w-50 for a track or modded car if you are running extreme temps. Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
