Well, if you are talking about which brand is best, a friend of mine was a PhD chemist working for an oil company. When asked which oil he used his reply was "Whichever big-name brand is on special offer in the supermarket". If we're taking viscosity, I go with Slybunda. Looking at Toyota Data, generally, over a period of years, they've moved to recommending thinner oils than they used to for a given engine. We still have relatively mild (warm) winters in the UK. It all goes back to the old oil advert which claimed that more engine wear was done starting up and reversing off the drive on a cold morning than in the next 100 miles. Whatever happened to oil adverts?

As thin as possible, as thick as necessary. Going thicker on oil is not always good

Nope, Sold it to buy a Rav4, which in turn was replaced by a mk3 MR2 TF300, called Heinz, as he is number 57.

Hide the reg to hide its history -
Just passing through and recalling the past.

Good to hear from you again! The trick these days is to get in and out of the car slowly . You can still attend shows with a non-Celica you know? For instance, of the 24 cars attending Prescott later in May for a non-competitive Hill climb day, 9 or 10 are non-Celicas!!! They all love us so much..... Sherv is coming from Kent in his Honda, and we have a Rav4 coming from the Isle of Wight - so no excuse to miss out! I'm sure I can still get a ticket for you -

Hello you bunch of Celica loving animals. It's 4 years now since I sold on my Gen 7 but I still miss it (and you lot). I have many fond memories of banter and advice in here. It's good to see so many of of the 'old timers' still around with a few exceptions even the Sherv is still active .... but he'll always be here I reckon. I now run a 2055 3 door Rav4 diesel and love it, it's a nippy little thing and fun to drive, I have back probs now and would love to slip into another Gen 7 but I'd never get out of one nowadays. I'm pushing 70 now but still young at heart. Take care all and enjoy your cars.

Been accessible for years, One of the first things I do when looking for a car is get the reg. No. then check on DVLA website. Very annoying when people hide the reg No. from vehicle adverts. If there is nothing to hide, why hide it. Also saves on a wasted journey if travelling to view a car -

They've been accessible on line for years with the MOT station just printing on plain paper. The only change is the MOT station will stop printing them for you. -

Me? Polish under the bonnet? You've gotta be kidding

That is a bargain! Did they clean up the outer surface and polish it? So does this mean Merion that you are going to polish everything under your bonnet now? -
Should be all good again
