Hey all, just about todo my second oil change in my bzr levin, I put castrol magnatec in it last time which seemed to make the lifters a bit nosiey. What sort of oil does everyone else run in there black tops and do they have noisey lifters?

i run magnatec currently, doesn't seem to get used as much as other oils, so i'll be sticking with it.

oh dear.

toyota says a sg-sh multi grade oil.

how cold does it get there?

15-40 will do for most climates though.

There you go. Thats straight from the Black top service manual.

Buy a reputable brand and change as recomended.

If ya want to feel good about yourself buy a PAO fully synthetic for around $80-100 and change it at 1000k's even thoug it will more than likely last 30,000k's without degrading.

If you want to get fanatical about your oil then I would recomend either redline or amsoil. Get quality filters (oil, fuel, air) and change them every 6 months and get an oil sample analysed ever 10k or so.

and use a genuine oil filter

the rattle will be the vvt pulley, very common

and to be helpful they run shim under buckets

also pro-ma won't fix that rattle

how the HELL do you check if it leaks @ 7000rpm?

your buddy revs it to 7 and you see the oil seep out......

with the oil i use i rev it out quite freqnetly (around 7k rpm in 1st and second... up to 8k in 3rd and above..)... and ever since ive changed my oil.... (3-4 months ago)... its gone down to half... but then again, i do give my car alot of shit ^_^.

well u detail the inside of the bonnet so it looks brand spanking new, go out for a test drive and then come back, finds out theres oil residue on the inside of the bonnet again... :cry:

but its sweet up to 4000rpm.

Lemmie guess... its a 20v >.>

its your vvt cam.... they are just noisy

its the way they are.

My 16V was rattling at idle, now its a really loud knocking/thumping!

Man I should really change my gearbox :roll:

by **BZG Wagon** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:29 pm

Mine makes the 'ticking sound too' (I thought it was the tappets or a noisy injector - but who knows/cares).

I use magnatec & it seems to be fine (800mls oil to 2000kms - its high consumption but the 20V engine seems to go through shit loads of oil no matter what you put in it). It was 1L per 1000kms with GTX 15/40 before I switched.

by **CozmoNz** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:33 pm

depends how oftern you ring her out

.

any chance that at above 4k rpm there is enough vac to *suck* the fumes... and any splashing up oil into the intake... thus excess oil usage if you give it enough shit?

by **Fuct Munkey** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 12:39 am

i kno its off topic, but i just put a new silvertop in my ae101 fxgt and it rattles so much it sounds like a diesel!!! also other probs that need sorting out, but yea, just thought id chuck my own problem in here!
