Gerry Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 What's the best oil and filter for a forged engine? And how much oil will it take? Cheers Quote

AdamB Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Depends who built it and what tolerences they used. Quote
Gerry Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 The engine has done 4k miles and I've heard so many diferent opinions on what oil to get I'm kind of stuck on what to get now haha! Quote
robwob88 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm in the same situation. Got a starlet and apparently its got a forged engine. What oil should I be using. Also I have a catch tank and oil cooler fitted? Do I have to do anything different when draining/filling the oil? Quote
