So its that time. Under the bonnet it shows 10 30 which you cant get, so Ive been using 10 40 semi synthetic castrol magnetec oil, but what oil are others using and would recommend?
Yeah ive got a picture of the Toyota Service Information and it shows that you can retard or advance by maximum 2 degrees either way but 10 degrees is bang on. It shows you need to short-circuit the T and E1 connectors at idle to play with the timing.
So i changed the distributor o ring seal and all done. thanks guys. There was alot of old oil and grime when i took the distributor out. Cleaned all that with degreaser and brake cleaner and all done. Now to sort out the other leak from the bottom of the timing cover.
