One for the 1JZ owners

Thanks lads, I guess i'll keep an eye out for Silkoline stuff. Was thinking that but seeing as it was mentioned twice thats good, and if its good enough for Chucks monster its good enough for me!!

Chuck, if theres any chance you have a bottle of that stuff around to get the name of that would be cool too. If not my dad reckons wynns is pretty decent, he used to use it in his mini's and I can get box additives from Wynns?..

@Cazzy dont be a lazy bastid just sit in the car, or drive it easy the last few miles, you dont need to fast n furious your way right into the driveway!!

Thanks again lads

Dude i actually use Mobil 1 15w 50, as do half the drifters in this country and uk!! Great tack!! I can also get good deals in Bulk if your interested!! Pm me if so!! As for the additive, its Bardahl Low Smoke or something!! Its in a white bottle and is the berries but as said above if its a major problem your having you may wanna fix it rather than mask it!

Mobil 1 it is so If its what you use, i'd be using my head to follow you! I wouldnt be interested in bulk just now but if i start using it more on track ill be in touch for sure. Thanks for the offer though.

Cool ill look out for the Bardahl stuff. I don't believe it is a major issue, if i heel/toe on down change its fine no clunk at all. Ill change the oil first and see from there...



Thanks again

Ok so I cant get Mobil 1 15w 50.

I can get Motul 15W 50. Any use? It's 50 euro for 4 litres
For the diff I can get a Redline diff oil. The guy wasnt 100% sure but i reckons its the heavy shockproof. I will double check..
For the box I can get a Redline MTL oil.

Both redline oils are 18 euro a litre which i thought was actually not too bad?

Ok so next are the amounts...

I guess to be safe Chuck is the man for this one...

How many litres of oil would i need for the motor, box and diff??

[Chuck_g]

Engine is around 4ish litres..........maybe a drop more!! Gearbox and diff i havent a notion as i didnt do em myself!! (Lazy ass yes)

I have mobil 1 here dude if you want a gallon for 50 squids!!

[Fredericks Balls]

I was just thinking as i was driving in, sure wouldnt toyota know exactly the amounts I will call into Denis Mahony's and find out abotu the box n diff.

Chuck thanks for the offer, are you in Punchestown this weekend? If so when are you comming up? If i can get the service done (need a hand with the box/diff) on Saturday i might just go with the Motul, if not ill deffo give you a shout... Unless your up on Friday evening...

[Fredericks Balls]

Ok i've ordered some Redline Heavy Shockproof for the diff, Redline MTL for the box and Motul 15W 50 for the engine. Give it a go and see!!


Thanks for the info peeps

My JZ takes 5.5 litres of oil, if not 6. I can't remember exactly. I always throw in some of that stuff that looks like honey that prolongs the life of the big ends at every oil change.

The diff oil that is in mine is some Castrol stuff that was recommended to me. Fucked if I can't remember the name of it though.

Not very helpful am I? haha
