1NZFE Oil

Postby Boosted_162 » Fri Sep 18, 2015 8:34 pm

Hey guys.

My mum bought a RunX a few months ago with the 1NZFE that has now done 50000km. Time to do an oil change, have got an TGP oil filter but not sure on what the recommended grade oil is?

Any reccommendations on grade or brand would be awesome :D

Cheers!

From memory 10w30 is the recommend grade for them. Any decent quality oil will be fine, you tend not to get shit 10w oils
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Have fun!


That said 20W-50?! Seems a bit thick?

I was thinking either 5W or 10W-30 would be what to go for. Some red stamp would be great then? :lol:

I'll have a look at a Castrol/Valvoline 10w-30. I use Valvoline Engine Armour 15w-40 in pretty much everything these days with no issues.

5W30 is the one I use, perfectly fine for NZ.
20W50, maybe in Sahara @ 50'C?

Even trade isn't much cheaper, oil packs aren't a big margin thing.
When you want a deal on a 205l drum though, let me know :lol:

At ~3.5l a change, 10000km between changes, that's about 585000km worth of oil :lol:
