Kev.O Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Is there a recommended oil for running in new engines? Also are there any problems with using fully synthetic oil after doing an oil change from mineral oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 To run in you will need a mineral based oil, we recomend 10w-40 semi synthetic. Once run in is complete there is no problem switching to a synthetic. Cheers Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Is that for teh 5speed or the 6speed? Cheers Guy. The W58 is a 5-Speed transmission as fitted to the NA MKIV's. The v160/v161 is the 6-Speed Getrag unit. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Brake Fluid Stock = Dot 4 I recommend DOT 5.1 Capacity ~1.5L's (Have 2L's ready) DOT 4 = Motul RBF600 DOT 5.1 = Motul RBF600, Castrol SRF Interval = Every 12months (also after any track day!) UK spec stock is DOT 3 in the owners manual A little out of date though!

Sharpie Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Power Steering Fluid Stock Dexron III ATF I recommend you stick with Dexron III oil but all makes should be suitable Capacity Interval = ??? To fully Flush it see here http://web.archive.org/web/20041209173121/www.reepa.com/psflush.php One thing the instructions on the above link don't say, is how fast the fluid is pumped around the system = how quick the coke bottle is drained of new fluid. Luckily, I caught it in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Can anybody say which oil should be used for the facelift LSD? The Toyota docs say it is *not* the same as used on pre-facelift LSDs, from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 It is still an LS 90 GL5 oil. Have a look at this synthetic one from Silkolene. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-850-silkolene-silktran-syn-5-75w-90-fully-synthetic-gear-oil.aspx Cheers Guy.

keener Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Just for info I tried to get some gearbox oil from Toyota yesterday and asked for the stock oil as recommended. They said it's discontinued so they now say use the Dextron D21065 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Just use a no LS 75w-90 then would be my advice although we have never had any complaints about Boa 90LS Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Rendar Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Just out of interest, the opening thread mentions these two as options for "BPU to Big Power": 10w40 - Motul 300V Chrono, Royal Purple Racing 41 10w50 - Silkolene Pro S If 10w40 is an option, is there any reason why SILKOLENE XTR 10W/40 is not recommended? Is it because it's semi-synthetic? The description on the Opie Oils website seems to suggest it would be okay, and it's significantly cheaper than the 10W50 Silkolene Pro S. (Less than half the price, in fact.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi, The XTR 10w-40 is a semi synthetic, not what we would recommend with BPU, we suggest synthetic for this 10w-40 or 5w-40 as this will gove you more choice. Cheers Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
