I don't deal with Royal Purple, so can't really comment on it, but you need an ATF that meets the Toyota Type 4 spec. Red Line D4 is about as good as ATF gets and others like the Fuchs ATF4400 and Millers SPIII are very well proven.

 

Cheers

Hi

 

The diff needs a 75w-90 GL5 oil.

 

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-mtfs-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx

 

The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Gulf Syngear are also good choices.

 

Regards

 

Tim

Thank you Tim.

 

Just to double check. I have a bone stock TT auto 77k miles.

 

Differential: motul gear 75w90 (2x 1liter)

Autobox: fuchs titan atf 4400 (2x 1liter)

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60163-fuchs-titan-atf-4400-automatic-transmission-fluid-for-japanese-cars.aspx

 

Engine: motul 300v chrono 10w40 (3x 2liter)

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-865-motul-300v-chrono-10w-40-racing-10w40-car-engine-oil.aspx

 

Brakes: motul rbf600 (4x 500ml)

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-894-motul-rbf-600-factory-line-racing-fully-synthetic-dot-4-brake-fluid-rbf600.aspx

 

Is this enough to change everything? Do I need more or less?

Or is this total overkill for a stock tt?

 

Thanks again

Hi

 

They are all very good choices, except I would go for 300V 5w-40, unless you are in a hot climate.

 

I think 1.5L will do the brakes, but I'm not sure on the autobox change capacity. My data lists 1.9L, but that doesn't seem a lot, most autos take quite a lot more than that.

 

Cheers

Hi Tim

 

My Friend is running a Skyline R33 GTST , OEM tubbie, OEM cams , fairly standard car

inlet cam was nearly seized in the head , on a recent track day hottest the oil(Millers NanoDrive CFS 10w50 - freshly changed) got was 110c when hammering it. cooled down quickly on cool down laps back down to 90c ish , the tuner said the nanodrive oil is so good that it litterly slips off the parts on the top of the engine and drains back offering little or no cold start protection

 

Tuner said 10W60 mobil1 coats the parts better and doesn't drain as quick

 

Common sense to me ,It won't drain as quick because it's thicker, if millers was that bad at protecting parts , engines would be failing left right and centre but what is your view on this?

While that Mobil might be draining slower, it will eventually drain down completely, so by the next morning, there will be no oil. Then as it's thicker, it will take longer to get around the engine when cold, so less cold start protection than the Nanodrive, which is an ester based oil, so it will leave a coating of oil on the parts and not completely drain down.

 

Cheers
