I've been using Amsoil fully synthetic motor oil on my Rb25det s1 powered s13 and the only place i could find it localy without having to pre order it is from a transmission shop, local and about 5 mins away from my house.

So today i drove to the shop to get me some "Amsoil" as i ussualy do when i change my oil and they said that they were changing to another product.... this Product is called Total fully synthetic motor oil.

dont know much about it but the shop told me its supose to be equivalent or even better than Amsoil .

I went to there web site and it mainly says its used on European cars and its a low emmision product....my car isnt european ahahaha wut the..... but i have 5 quarts comming for me tommorow.

Total Have been around for many years ,

just not here in Australia.

much like ELF ,did a lot of work in 80s with F1

just read all info that you can find on oil of your Choice .

Cheer`s Chuckie.

Saying Amsoil or any other brand doesn't mean much as they have more than one product.... You should find out which Amsoil you're running then check the specs against the Total oil they are offering.

My 2cents worth.

Well Total oils are good stuff. I myself been using Royal Purple fully syn. So long as you are using not just the viscosity (15W/40) the API Spec must also be equal or higher.

    • 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.
