I'm coming up on my 2nd oil change on my stockish 34. I've used Royal Purple in all changes, in all cars prior. But I would like to give Gulf Western Syn X 6000 or Motul 8100 X-Cess a go. Cheapest I've found for what you are interested in are...

Royal Purple HPS: $70/5 quarts (4.73L) from performanceclub.com

Motul 8100 X-Cess: $75.99/5L from justjap.co

EDIT: Also, just stumbled across this; If you're a member of RACQ, you get 20% off prices store-wide in Repco until the end of February. So go get some stuff. Or get your mum to. lol

For Those of you using Royal Purple, this might be of interest.

And

that works out @ $56.30AUD per 4.7L and you will get 4 changes from the 5 Gal.

Not bad a all.

If you run Motul, my local Repco is clearing it out and replacing it with Gulf Western. Not sure if its the other stores too?

I've noticed no difference between the Valvoline semi synth I was using and the Motul 300v I dropped in at the last change. I have one more change worth of 300v then I'll be trying the new Gulf Western Syn X 6000, as by then I should be on e85.

add 100 for shipping and tax... still works out cheaper though

I'm pretty sure that figure I quoted was for the 10-40W and included shipping,

Add some to you cart and begin the checkout process and see what you get.

Strange, my cart came up with $133 + $100.60 for 6-18 dat shipping?

It ticks while cold, goes away at operating temperature in a few minutes. No knocking (thank goodness). A lot of the guys here in the forums use 40w while I have been using 30w for almost all of my cars so I am wondering if I should stick with 40w. Thanks :thumbsup:

On the topic :)

Maybe stick with the cheaper one of the two? Both are great oils and with regular oil change, there won't much difference between the two I think tbh.

    • 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.
