1G-GTE tech info/diagrams

[Karma Supra]

Cheers all done now

[Jackel]

proberly the most basic tech info i need is what oil do yee all use?

[Hydra]

Varies for me 10W50 fully synthetic if I can find it.

[Karma Supra]

15-40 semi....

Although I have a mineral oil ready for the first start up after the rebuild

[Hydra]

Run in oil, more or less?

I remember using that for a painful 500km of nannying the car around

[Karma Supra]

Just for the first 30 min or so start up/idle... then I have some cheapish semi for the first 500 miles or so.... then is mapping time Wooooooo yay...

[brett_celicacoupe]

magnatec for me.


see there is a 0W castrol oil out now... "edge"

[Jackel]

hmm seems like few different answers but what would you all recommend for a engine that has done 170,000k

[Karma Supra]

Magnatec is awfull horrid stuff... I have ben using it for years, it goes to shit after it has been in the car for five minutes. It is made of recycled oul, teh reason for teh oil presure drop is due to chemical instability, -the long chain polymers break down.

[Hydra]

Full synth will apparently hold up better to higher heat (ie. turbos)

Going to do an oil change tomorrow...

[VeeP]

i use Penrite HPR 30 - 20W60 i think.

keeps the motor quiet (since if i use something thinner the motor gets noisier) and doesnt burn any oil . . . although that might be changing it seems

[emp?]

I wouldnt use anything lighter than 15w in a 1G unless its been rebuilt with smaller clearances
I find with the 3 1G's ive had anything under that is burnt quickly and seems to degrade to fast
BTW i change oil every 2500k max and most changes happen about the 1500km mark

It says 15-40 in the owners manual

I start mine up teh other day and got 80psi oil presure on 10-40

[emp?]

mine will pull well over 100psi on 0w
but that doesnt mean its good for it
Tell me what psi @ 800rpm you got after 2hrs non stop on 0w

[JustCallMeOrlando]

My car barely uses any oil over the 5000km change intervals I do, always use a 10w40 oil. I'd say most of that as well is due to turbo seals or valve stem seals.
