Motor Oils WHAT SORT ARE YOU ALL USING ???

[slydin-cressy-style]

Hey guys,

ATM im building my Toyota Cressida for drift which has a 1JZ-GTE in it

To all of those slyders out there, what sort of oil are you using in your 1JZ's?

What sort of results have you had with certain oils and what would you recommend?

What sort of oils should i consider using with a High-revving motors which are built for drift?

Fuchs 10-40 synthetic for the street, Castrol Edge 10-60 synthetic for track days. Both seem to work well for their applications

...but then Matt hates all things JZ, so I wouldn't take his advice. It's damned lucky he actually puts any oil in it at all!

[Draven]

he just pre-mixes the oil and coolant.. saves time

Elf 10w40

nb: this depends a lot on how old your engine is, and if it uses oil

my 2j has ~60K kms on it. most 1js (non-vvti) are going to have double that, so a 15w50 might be a better bet for the street, and maybe something a little thicker (like what matt uses) for the track

i gained 9rwkw by using vegatable oil.

i highly recommend it. perfect for a slydin crezzy yo.

good for the environment too






just get some genuine toyota oil, very cheap, very good

I'd probably recommend an oil cooler too.
I use Motul 10W40 personally.
Not sure of the benefits of 10W60 vs 10W40 in these high-abuse applications, but hopefully someone can enlighten us

Mobile 1... It actually has been the best oil for my car so far! It is expensive however.

[1200det]

I always use Royal Purple engine oils usually 10w40

Currently using Penrite HPR10w50, seems to work fine, and is good value.

[aw11man]

I was also using Penrite HPR10w50 in my beams engine and it seemed to be good but i thought i had better use a full synthetic for better protection.
So now ive got nulon 10w-40 in it but i have noticed that the oil pressure when fully warned up and cruising at say 100kph is not as high as with the hpr10w50.

Now im confused as to what is the best to use, i heard the nulon is supposed to be the best value full synthetic about but if the penrite stuff guna do a better job then i could save $20 odd per oil change.

[Hydra]

You changed oil weights as the same time as switching to synthetic... this would probably explain the lower oil pressure.

How often are you going to change your Oil ?

Probably just go with Castrol GTX2 20W-50 ($25) and change it after every meet.
