psycho-supe Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Now that V160 transmission oil and Dexron D21065 are no longer readily available what is the deemed by you guys to be the best easily obtainable alternative ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Have a look here David: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?56684 Last year Reading Toyota were still able to get the oil for the v160, but it's very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho-supe Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Had managed to find that thread but it now appears that the Esso is also no longer available, the others on that thread hadn't really been okay'd for use as it was some time ago. Was in touch with Reading Toyota yesterday and they are now no longer able to obtain it (would have been £23 litre if they had). Was going to see what 3D Transmissions thoughts were or whether they could make a suggestion.

Chris Wilson Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Whatever Nissan recommend for basically the same box in R34GTR Skylines, or BMW suggest for some of their cars with a similar 6 speed Getrag. If I had another Supra and it was a manual I would run Neo gear oil in it if it was driven on track, or Motul Gear 300 if it was mainly just a road car. Neither are recommended by Getrag or Toyota, and others should use them at their own risk, but I would be 100% happy with either of these in my own Getrag V16* box.

Dr_Doom Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I went with Royal Purple Syncromax for mine after reading lots of good reports from supraforums. Been good so far (last 12 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I use what ever Oilman recommended, think it was Motul 300 as mentioned by Chris, 750 bhp and no issues, been in the box since my build so a few years now. Put the same stuff in the M3 too, 20,000 miles ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
