Oils For the car

[Ian.G]

When I get a new car I always like to know what oils and other fluids suit it best. I have no idea about the 4AGE engine which is why the people on this forum are so nice to know.

I am like a big sponge ready to soak up hachi knowledge.

My car isn't really a daily driver as I only drive it for fun. This is usually track or drift practice and fun road driving. I always let the engine fluids warm up to operating temp before using the loud pedal.

One day I would like to install a STACK dashboard system in the car like I have in the westi (easiest way to monitor things in a compact space) as factory gauges dont help with specific temps. I had a defi link system installed in my old P1 and you would be shocked - when the car was reading up to temp on the factory temp gauge the oil was nowhere near ready

I used to change the oil and filter after each trackday with that car and it never missed a beat - but I think it wasn't really required and probably a waste of some $$$.

I think everyone has an opinion of what is best but there is usually a general consensus to go with.
