I'm not 100% sure, I think it's about 2.5L. Cheers Tim

Hi I would go for something like Motul Gear 300, Millers CRX 75w-90 or Gulf Competition. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-90-gear-oils.aspx You don't need the LSD versions of those oils, just the normal versions will do. Cheers Tim

Is it a standard factory fitted LSD or an aftermarket one? Cheers Tim

Hi The best fluids for the brakes and clutch are the Castrol SRF, Motul RBF660 and Gulf RF1000. The Motul RBF600, Gulf RF1000, Millers 300 Plus and Fuchs Pro Race are close to those, but don't have quite as high boiling points. Those ones are all really for cars that are used on track. The next step down (in performance terms), but still an upgrade over standard are the Gulf Racing 5.1, Motul DOT 5.1 and Castrol React Performance. Any of the other DOT4 fluids we have are fine to use as a standard choice. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-450-brake-fluid-clutch-fluid.aspx Cheers Tim

Hi Rob Glad you like it Cheers Tim

Engine Oil Viscosity Viscosity is the most misunderstood aspect of oil and yet it is the most important. Viscosity is the force required to shear (break) the oil at a certain speed and temperature. Oils work because they have viscosity; the drag of a rotating part pulls oil from a low-pressure area into a high pressure area and “floats” the surfaces apart. This is called “hydrodynamic lubrication” and crankbearings depend on it. Oil must be capable of flowing at low temperatures, so that it gets around the engine in a fraction of a second at start-up and must protect engine components at hi

In that case the 5w-40 will be fine, that is ideal up to about 130C. Cheers Tim

I'd stick with that all year round, I can't see it getting hot enough to need a 10w-50 in the summer. Cheers Tim

Hi One of the 5w-40s I mentioned above will be fine for it. Cheers Tim

For a Starlet I will generally recommend a 5w-40, but that depends on what engine work it's had done. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives. Cheers Tim

Thanks for that

The Advantages of Synthetic Oils over Mineral oils Extended oil drain periods Better wear protection and therefore extended engine life Most synthetics give better MPG They flow better when cold and are more thermally stable when hot Surface-active meaning a thin layer of oil on the surfaces at all times (in ester based oils) How Synthetic oils Achieve these Benefits Stable Basestocks Synthetic oils are designed from pure, uniform synthetic basestocks, they contain no contaminants or unstable molecules which are prone to thermal and oxidative break down.
