Lewisek Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi guys, sorry for such a probably STUPID question! Just ordering some new oil to collect for a nice service on the TSport tomorrow. I chose this 5W30 oil: http://www.gsfcarparts.com/980aa1690 I am now worried it may not be the right one for a 2zz? I used the number plate part checker on GSF's site and they say it is 5W30 but others have said 10W40 is for our engines. Am I being a moron here?

Akuma77 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) lewis you gonna need a bit more than 1litre lol , its the right grade a lot of uss use opie oils for 5w40 /5w30 ive used both grades but use the 40 one more Edited February 19, 2016 by celica1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave9639 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I would second the opie oils 5w40. Funnily enough the oil was cheaper through his ebay page rather than his website. Ebay:171155296208 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foogles Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Same here. 5L of Shell Helix 5w40 from Opie's eBay page for about £25 last year. 5w30 would be fine too, 5w40 was recommended to me due to my 150k mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSam50 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Generally Lewis it is how you drive your car, if your in lift a lot then go for 5w40, if your a more casual driver which I think you are then go for 5w30 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisek Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks for all the help guys! I went with 5w30 and we will see how we get on. I use lift maybe once a month so hopefully it will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I used the number plate part checker on GSF's site...The trouble with those checker things is that they will show you what they want to sell you and not what you want to buy.
