oilman Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 V161 advise oil to use ? Due to the gearbox specs I would go for either the Motul Multi ATF, Red Line D4 Fuchs ATF4400, Gulf Multi Vehicle ATF, Castrol ATF Multi Vehicle or Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-1432-atf-automatic-transmission-fluid-for-cars.aspx Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullrespect Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I have just recieved an info from Opie Oils with their recomendations (i have TT6 BPU), here is the quote: Hello, Thanks for the message, first of all, engine Oil: A 10w-50 is ideal for your car and these are the ones that we stock. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx The Fuchs Pro S, Millers CFS and CFS NT+, and Red Line are top-quality oils. The Motul Abarth and Millers EE Performance are also very good oils. The Total is a more basic option, but still a decent oil. Diff Oil: You need 75w-90 GL5 oil for the differential. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-gear-oil.aspx The best options are the Fuchs Syn 5, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300, Millers CRX /CRX LS and Gulf Competition. Castrol Transmax Universal LL/Transmax Axle Long Life, Mobil SHC, Fuchs Sintopoid, Millers XF Premium MTF/Nanodrive EE, Total Traxium Dual 9FE, Comma MV MTF Plus and Valvoline are also good options. Power steering is an ATF Dexron III spec Oil: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-771-dexron-iii-atf.aspx So Gearbox Oil, so with the 6-speed Getrag box actually uses an ATF fluid link below for ideal choices: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-121330-millers-oils-xf-premium-atf-mv-extra-automatic-transmission-fluid.aspx?variantid=219309 https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60163-fuchs-titan-atf-4400-automatic-transmission-fluid-for-japanese-cars.aspx?variantid=67407 Kind Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I'm surprised Opie are recommending 10W50 for the 2JZ engine when Toyota specified a 10W30 oil from new. For the 6sp gearbox we discovered a couple of years back that Citroen have reintroduced the OE Exxon (now Mobil) gear oil for one of their vehicles, there is a sticky on this. It is believed that is not a fully synthetic product so it will have different gasket and ring seal properties to a modern synthetic oil. There is a sticky thread on the gear oil and the details about the Peugeot/Citroën ATF D 21065, code is 9730AC plus a link to where to get the oil from.

rider Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 In my old Castrol days 50 weight oils or even 60 weight oils were either for vintage engines built on massive tolerances, knackered engines that had developed massive tolerances with a bit of bearing slap or in endurance racing where engines would run at their hottest for a long time. In a good condition and normal (non endurance) usage standard engine 50 and above were seen a a drag on horsepower and giving higher than optimal back pressure on the oil pump. Latest oils are 20 weight, in the 1990's they were 30 of 40 weight weight, in the 1950's they were 50 weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
