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.

Does any one know about this product or have expiriance with it.

should i worrie that my car isnt euro

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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
