MRTA22 Regular Location: Sydney Registered: May 2002	Re: Oils aint oils.......... Sun, 07 July 2002 07:30 The oil you use depends on the age and condition of your engine. The older T series engine cannot be treated the same as say a 3S series. The addition of multi valves and higher rpm etc call on different oil viscosity and additives. Older designed engines need thicker oils and Mobil 1 is an oil that shouldnt be used in older engines or non multi valve ones. It is far too thin and will not keep an adequate film to protect the bearings. Rod found this out the hard way!! i have used Penrite hpr premium in my 3TGTEU for its entire life and had no problems. The one i use is designed for turbo diesels and petrol engines and is high in detergent. This helps prevent carbon deposits which can cause premature wear and detonation!! Both nasty engine killers. No matter what oil you use if you drive hard it should be changed (along with the filter) at around 4000km. I change my oil and filter every 2500km. I do this because the oil is higher in detergent and so it cleans out more carbon, however itf left too long it would start to wear the engine. My oil is always clean when it comes out and it never gets hot. About what was said earlier, just because the temp gauge says warm doesn't mean the engine is.... that is 100% correct. It takes 11min of driving for oil to reach its operating temp where it actually starts to clean the engine. Before this is is just there to prevent the parts contacting. Most cars will reach operating temp within 5 mins of driving but if revved too hard will still cause damage for a further 7 mins. If you drive hard i suggest the fitment of an oil temp gauge then there is no excuse for not knowing the temp of your oil. P.S: whoever suggested that their is IRON in magnetic is a wanker and obviously has no idea. Magnetic oil is very good and it is due to ironisation that it "clings" to the engine parts. It is in no way "magnetic" as such. Jamie. [Report message to a moderator]
