how much lucas oil and addative to use?

hi im just about to do my oil chaing on my tt and am going to use lucas 10/40 and the addative that makes the oil better if you no what i mean. it says i ownly put a amount of addative in depending on the amount of oil the car uses i.e if the car takes 5L i use the whole bottle i did a serch but couldnt find how many liters of oil the 2jz takes...any ideas?

many thanks

Matt

additive that makes oil better????? you should sell this to the oil companies you'll make millions.........

if you no what i mean.

Nope

chaing; ownly; addative; serch; liters

Hmmm....

There is no reason to add anything to the oil if you use the correct specification oil.

how many litres of oil does the 2jz hold....was that slow enough for you:p

DON'T DO IT!!!!

Buy decent oil from the word go or sell the car.

You need 5-6L's of GOOD oil.

Silkolene Pro-S 10w50 or something else effective.

Additives are full of BS only.

fill and check with good oil, don't just throw it all in at once, you really don't want to over fill the block, if i remember correctly it should be between 5 - 5.3l but it tends to vary, please don't use the snake oil:(

i thought lucas was good/expensive oil?

good post, have a read of the above post, oil is the cars blood, only treat it to the best

i thought lucas was good/expensive oil?

If it's so good why on earth would you consider putting in "additives"??

i thought lucas was good/expensive oil?

i always use Silkolene , i don't know how good the lucus oil is to be fair

i understand silkoline is the bees neez but i thought lucas was a top oil aswel? im not disagreing with you. its hard to describe how it makes the oil better it just does thay have a display that showes how, has anyone ever used lucas and it realy made a mess of your motor?? or is this just all theory im not trying to be argumentative i would just like to no why and for what reson?

Which of their oils have you bought for a start?

its not really the oil mate, its putting in additives, oil companies spend millions to get the 'edge' on the compatition, if this additive is so good how come none of the oil companies add it to their oil? for what its worth the Lucus oil is probably very good (although don't quote me on that)

Just stick with Silkolene or Motul 300V Chrono.

As long as its a good quality semi or fully synthetic, check the spec for API it should be fine, unless your running a fully built high spec motor, theres a lot of oil snobbery on here;)

I wouldn't use semi-synthetic at all.

There seems to be a fair bit of oil stupidity too

FFS there is nothing snobbish about wanting the best you can get for a none standard car.

Oh dear here we go:rolleyes: there is nothing wrong with semi synthetic, i have run a well modded SR20DET motor on it with no problems at all, and there is nothing wrong with using the best you can find, its just pointless unless you have a highly stressed engine as i said, running over specked oil on the Supra engine is just a waste of money, as its not that special, mechanically speaking.

There's nothing wrong with it no, but personally for the money I don't see why you wouldn't go for a decent fully syn. It is a performance car after all not a family hatchback.

ok i have just finnished the oil chaing with silkoline:innocent:

and that stuffs not cheap lol thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

p.s if thay put the adertive in the oil thay would ownly get to sell you the oil but if sold separatly thay would make two sales ££££

Look up oilmans threads here mate. Then go to Opie Oils website for the complete breakdown of what you need throughout the car. He, oilman, gives us discount too.
