One for the 1JZ owners

[Fredericks Balls]

Ok, it's about time I got the finger out here. I want to service the car thouroughly, so I was wondering what oils you use in the engine, box and diff. I have spoke to Andy @ Powervehicles but the oils he uses arent available here.

I have a slight clunking (not crunching, feels like down changing a dog box) and I was recommended to use an additive in the box, so if anyone could recommend one that would be cool...


Thanks in advance

Silkolene or redline or any ester based oils are the best.

As Above Silkolene is sweet stuff.....Theres oil treatment you can get in a white bottle(Cant remember the name), its savage tack reduces noise,friction etc!! I use it

hw good is the sweesh turbo timer lads wanna put on my 1jz guy selling it at 45euros????

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

If you are using a good quality oil like the silkolene you won't need additives, If you are having trouble selecing gears or getting a noise then additives may mask the problem but they won't fix it.

No, i understand that. As I said it's like an awkward clunk on downchange, not a grinding like a knackered syncro. Ive driven single seaters with dog boxes, and it feels very like that more so than something on the way out. When I spoke to Andy he suggested an additive as he uses Wakos Skill g in his JZX100 but Wakos is unavailable outside Japan I think.

Ill change the oil anyway and see where its at then. I have no idea when it was last done so it may just need fresh oil

Thanks again

I think Murray Motorsport are agents for Silkolins.
