Josh Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 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) Track Oil 15w50 - Silkolene Pro R, Motul 300V 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) I would not buy any oil from Halfords - it is for your VVti TT yes? If BPU 5w40 Silkolene ProS If BPU+ 10w50 Silkolene ProS Dont waste your money in Halfords - Try Opie Oils on here 0w will be too thin as per the guide on here Edited April 22, 2011 by scotty71 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dident really want to but they had 20% off all oil. Have a look at the bottom of the main forum page at Opie Oils' section as they have loads of deals in there. Free delivery is shown quite a lot of the time or even a free 1L bottle of oil thrown in. Edit: Looks to be free shipping if ordering stuff worth over £25 before midnight on Monday.

johnny g Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I can't speak highly enough of Opie Oils - they're hugely experienced with first rate service. Give them a call, get the Silkolene or Fuchs 10w50 and a new filter. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_widow87 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Can anybody recommend Castrol GTX 10w40 on a small single setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 That's a very basic option, although I guess technically you could use it. What power is it running and what sort of use is it getting? Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_widow87 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Will be running in the region of 500bhp and used nearly every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 In that case, definately don't use the GTX. A 10w-50 is ideal. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx The Nanodrive CFS is, on paper, the best oil available, but the Pro S and CFS are both really good oils, so all are good choices for your car.
