I use Penrite HPR10, 10w50 in both cars. Works a treat.

Semi, I change it every 5000km and it's never caused me any grief.Originally Posted by Ryley

Re: what oil to use in a 7mgte??
hey guys, jsut thought I'd reuse this thread with help with recommendations on oil. "You know what I mean.."
I have an older orginal engine (67 Crown) and have been advised to use Penrite 'Classic Medium'.
Are there any other brands, types that anyone could recommend?
.. I swear I'll keep this car for longer than 12 months.
Re: what oil to use in a 7mgte??
older engine, high ks, possibly less than "new" parts, id use a thicker oil above 10w30w

Re: what oil to use in a 7mgte??
FACTORY RED FLUID! Amazing! Where would I purchase that? Im assuming from Toyoata service centres?
Another guy here at work suggested 10w40 aswell so perhaps I might go that. I'd ask the guys at Super Cheap (across the road) but I really don't trust them all that much.. maybe not ALL of them.. but just the ones who look hungover and are really struggling with cleaning the shop windows.

Re: what oil to use in a 7mgte??
use a 20/50, its cheap,thick and its only a 4m.
Re: what oil to use in a 7mgte??
I think I'll change everything while I'm at it..
brake fluid is fine..
coolant
oil and filter
air filter..
