Mobil 1 is good, although, i think it's an oil that needs more frequent changes than others...

RB's are "lifty" fullstop. Mobil 1 did quiet mine down a bit, Royal Purple made them quieter again... i would probably stay away from "lifter free" sounds horrible.

Good oil, fairly often. Just stick with that :)

hey Gareth :P, i got it from harold, $11.99 per quart, and you need about 6, $71 - i was just putting it into a more friendly measurement, litres instead of quarts. But it's still around $70 for an oil change

6? Do you have an oil cooler or something? 6 * 0.945 (is that was a quart is?) that would be 5.67 litres.

Anyway, you probably did tell me and I have a terrible memory :laugh:

Yes, I don't like the quarts measurement, its confusing.

hm, i change my oil at 5000kms or less. So non frequent changing is not the problem.

Maybe i try the mobile 1 0w-40w. Without lifter free. Might need to look for an alternative oil tho. 0w-40w fully syn around 90 for 5 litres!

Anyway i inform you guys how it goes. =)

changed oil today from quaker state 20-50w to redline 20-50w went for a drive an heat it up pretty good then on idle started to hear a clicking noise(the kind u hear when u switch off an your exh is coolin down) seemed to be commin from the exh side rocker cover. Car has done 120000km an never heard this before. Any suggestions as to what this might be? By the way its not a constant noise it comes an goes.

yea.. agreed..!

I got told before to use 10/60, buy a guy at repco before...

He said if i used anything lower, my engine would be destroyed............................................................

I smiled and walked off. Lol!

Hey guys, Just some feedback on this thread. Took the advice of the blokes here and the mobile one gold 0-30 worked great. Unfortunatly Its too good and I felt the engine was moving too freely and it was to thin.

Now have moved onto motul 5-40 I think xcess 8100 and its pretty good stuff. BTW oil change at 10,000km on the skyline with mobil gold came out slightly deep gold so its good for awhile id say (no oil cooler and yes I gave it a nice run)

Hope that helps some people, I just felt the 0 weight was too thin and would give too much unwanted engine wear.

yeah, Castrol Syntec is their true synthetic oils... and surprise surprise, you can't buy it off the shelf here... well, not that i know about.

I would stick with the german 0w30 though.... i've heard a lot of reports that the American stuff is actually Group III, but Castrol decided they wouldn't tell anyone... :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
