So basically been getting my car serviced at the mechanic my parents have used for ages over the last 2-3 services but am beginning to question oils etc as I can see some differences between services and I think the brand of oil changes each time (Mobil first time Penrite this time). My car is out of its warranty soon so dont want it to die quicker than necessary.

What are the ideas of the best engine oil and gearbox oils and any other oils I can add on. As the 1zz's love to rev most of my time is spent between 4-6k so its not driven like a granny. Also with more rev'ing what is a good amount of months between changes of oil to reduce effects.

Also as far as clutches in the 1zz's is it worth getting a hd clutch as over the nearly 3 years ive had it the gear changes/clutch have been getting sloppier and slower than at first.

If anyone has anymore ideas fire away as its just about time for some minor tweaks.

might aswell put a HD full face clutch in it when the stock one wears out. It's no heavier on the clutch pedal.

If you want a "super heavy duty" 1zz clutch, install a 2zz HD clutch kit.

If you thrash the car a lot, more regular oil changes will help the engine more than the oil brand. Just run the recommended weight from the owners manual if it's not burning oil between changes.
