robwob88 Posted March 21, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
