Konrad Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi, here's all you need to know about Supra fluids http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?56684-FAQ-Oil-Fluid-Interval-Capacity-Steering-Brake-Coolant-Diff-Engine Do not put any additives, it's better to invest in good quality oil, which will have additives in it.

Robzki Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've just ordered mine from opieoils free delivery if ordered before midday today. They advise on the site what oil you need, just buy an oil and filter pack. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andz222 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 which oil did u order from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was looking at Fuchs before, but that was £100 for 10L, so I went for something else. Can't remember what it was called but it's 10W40 fully synthetic and was only £40 for 10L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really help the op much Josh if you dont know what you put in, you sure it was brand new at £20 for 5 litres of fully syn ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 6 litres of Fuchs TITAN SUPERSYN 5W-40 High Performance, Fully Synthetic, Engine Oil in 1x 5 litres, 1x 1 litres and an OIL FILTER: UFI spin-on oil filter 23.253.00 single £27+vat Would always rather buy a mid range oil and increase the rate of changes.

Dnk Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I've always used Mobil 1 in my car and in my Landcruiser and im very happy with how it performs, what grade you put in will depend on how many miles is on your engine, as for what brand well theres several that will do the job with ease. Because my cars done over 134k i use Mobil 1 fully synthetic 10w60 extended life. Opie had a deal on it and mine was £66 for 10 litres but its now £98 for 10 litres Speak to Opie Oils is a good place to start or Josh Edited January 24, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Not their lawnmower section Oh good grief! I searched for fully synthetic CAR engine oil and it came back with a few. It seemed pretty good, and at less than half the price of the Fuchs, I thought "why not?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yours was less than £16 for 6ltrs? and came with half a filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't buy a filter. I bought 10L of fully synthetic oil for £45 delivered. I'll check to see what it is, as I can't find it on their website now. I'll report back later for you chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 When did fully synth become the norm? Toyota specc'd a semi synth back in 91, Ive used that in all my JZ cars, I only use fully synth now cos the Aristo has a single turbo on it.

Robzki Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've always used fully synth from recommendations here and on opie oils as a performance oil. I'd rather use a semi synth if I'm honest as its easier to get and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) last time i checked opieoils for the fuchs was over 50 quid for 6 litres http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1146-silkolene-pro-s-5w-40-ester-synthetic-oil-for-high-performance-engines.aspx so how did you get it so cheap EDIT nevermind it was a different oil lol http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-984-fuchs-titan-supersyn-5w-40-high-performance-fully-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx so this is fine for the supra? for a tt bpu Edited January 25, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I had that fuchs from opie. Was around 40 quid maybe cheaper for 5 litres. Someone just mentioned 10 litres for same price, i think that must be incorrect cant imagine it being that cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
