The engine oil normally comes in 5 litres, i mite as well use all the oil, are you sure i shud use 4.99 litres?

I prefered factory recommended litres.

Toyota did it as part of major service.

Unless their putting less than 5litres in 5 litre bottles these days, id say they used 4.8, 4.9 ish, seriously nothing left in it. I think the manual said 4.2 or 4.3, so 400ml is nothing as some will go into your new filter as well.

Not like you are dumping 6 litres or something in there.

And I put more in for track performance as well.

Aside from quantity, I entrust that the best oil you can afford is going into your rolla?

Everyone has an opinion on oil.

I don't usually thrash it, in fact the plates on the car are my wifes (to indicate who's car it is). The track day is the first of my life, and I'm 30+

Toyota will sell you good oil. If you want to get better, and most people on this forum would, upgrade to something better unlikely cost you a cent more.

Do a search on oil, is a very popular topic.

The Fuchs 10W-30, i got it as the ppl on this forum rate it, and I rate them. My car didn't miss a beat on the track.

Thanks for that whitestivo, i use to drive a GTR and lost my licence for a year. i recently got my licence back before i bought this stivo. Now i dont wanna speed no more.

u probaly think why did i buy a stivo for, i buy stivo cuz of the looks, plus it goes well only LIFT when i need it too.

Cheers mate.

Guys hate to be the voice of reason... But you dont want to be talking about your amazing law breaking efforts here in the Forum.

Not only does it make you sound like a complete chump, but Police trawl these forums looking for Hoons too.

So I suggest you leave the bragging for MSN.

Andy.

      Insurance

      Yeah, kind of what I've been thinking, but due to how bad the drivers are through Chatswood and those areas I'll probs ensure it with someone like AusPost who have the cheapest insurance and will insure me but I will definitely get the cameras you suggested thankyou so much

      Insurance

      If you've answered all their questions honestly & tried all the majors then there's nothing you can do other than find the cheapest quote for 3rd party because that's the minimum you need to be out on the roads. Some 3rd party insurance will also cover your car up to a small amount ($3000) if the other party is at fault & they have no insurance. Because you will be driving around with no insurance for your own car, I suggest getting quality dashcams front & rear to cover yourself incase of any claims you need to make against someone at fault. I recommend the viofo A129 pro duo https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295468431227 Start getting quotes again for comprehensive insurance, once enough time lapses to have confidence answering those licence disqualification questions without needing to disclose. Usually 3-5 years after the fact....

      Insurance

      Hey guys I'm new here I've run into a pretty major issue, I've just bought myself a 2007 aurion sx6 as an 18 year old red p plater who commutes to sydney city daily around 165km round trip (six days per work) for work. When I was younger I got done with some heft demerits and was given a police suspension (Dec 2022-Feb 2022) in court the judge ordered my license to be canceled (hence the red P plates at nearly 19) and I was suspended again in December of 2023 until March 2024 when I got caught by a camera doing 6km over the limit in the tolls tunnels (stupid ik) - and just before I bought my car I was T-Boned on my motorbike not at fault but a claim was made, most insurers are flat out refusing to insure me and the ones that don't refuse quote me around $5000-$6000 for full comprehensive. Have no family whose insurance I can be added to and as an apprentice I really can't afford $5000 for insurance. I know all of this is a result of stupid decisions made when younger - but if anyone has any helpful tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated I have been on the train for the past 3 months and it's a 4 hour trip each way so kind of need this sorted

      Ticking Hilux 5le

      Hi all, got a 2004 diesel 4x4 Hilux with the 5le motor in it. 250,000 kilometres, i’m the second owner and have had it about 9 months. Since I bought it there has always been a constant ticking noise while driving (anywhere over 1200rpm) but not while idling. Does it while accelerating, maintaining speed and decelerating. No real impact on power and I get about 12.5L per 100km. I never worried about it too much but it’s starting to ***** me off a bit. I’ll link a video below, any clues what could be causing the noise?

      Hmm it seems like I can't quote anyone except the original post. @Wing (hope I tagged right person) I definitely relate. You did incredibly well with that find! Crazy low KMs!

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Thanks for the post Aldo. Googling echo upgrades lead me to this thread and now I'm a member. I definitely hear you. I've been looking in to turning my 03 Echo in to a soft roader. I bought it for 2k (clear coat was cooked) back in 2021. I managed to lose my license in it within first 3 weeks. I HUGELY underestimated how much up and go it has. Although on fresh tyres, previous owner went cheap. In the wet, driving hard, I was spinning until 3rd gear/ or around 75kmh. Have been playing around with it, looking at suspension upgrades, bash plates etc, even a snorkel 😂 but best I've been able to come across so far would be swapping suspension and wheels from a Jimny or similar. Would require a bit of custom modifications and therefore engineering certificate etc. There already seems to be some great posts in here. Definitely suspension and air flow seme to be the go. Since we have the old cable 🚠 based throttle, unfortunately we can't do drive-by-wire. I was introduced to that by a workmates 06? Hilux 4x2... That thing pulled *HARD* just from changing the mode selected on the DBW. V6 obviously but yeah. Definitely following this thread and gonna pop the air filter next 👍🏽 👍🏽

      Wheels for Hilux

      Hi, I'm hoping to buy a good second hand set of wheels for my 98' Mk 4 Hilux single cab. Does anyone know if Mk7 wheels would fit regarding the offset please? Thank you, Best, Daniel
