Alex Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 You could change various oils... Engine Oil -5.5litres- Valvoline 5w50 is highly recommended, Castrol RS10w60 a close 2nd Gearbox Oil -2 cans...- ONLY Toyota V160 oil Don't use anything else. Diff Oil - Pass...could someone please fill in this blank ATF 75/90?? Powersteering fluid - 1-2L - ATFII Mobil1 is what I was given by Toyota. Brake Fluid -1litre - Motul RBF600R Coolant - 10L's - Toyota Red label - believe that 4Life stuff is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Leon changed mine recently, the cars done less than 50,000 and the oil that came out was black! Only difference I noticed was in my pocket... I'm sure the diff apreciated it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Sorry Craig, I don't know what he used but I don't remember it being anything special. I can't tell you how much because I had loads of other bits done at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
