Yes it is 150ml...
What is Castrol Syntrax... special SC oil and what about the Mobil Fully Synth... fully sythetic what? Normal motor oil. I have been told that the Toyota SC Oil is heaps dear and hard to get. I have been recommended the Holden SC Oil as used in the M90 SC's on the V6's conformodores bit cheaper... any comments?

you wouldn't want to use motor oil in your sc. You need something more viscous hence sc or transmission oil. I havent heard of holden sc oil being used before. I was reccomended Castol Syntrax by a few ppl of this forum...never had a drama with it. It's fully synthetic 75w/90 and costs about $20 for 1L
anyone know anything about holden sc oil?

Yes of course i would not use motor oil in a SC... duh. I just hadn't heard of Syntrax before and didn't know what type it was.
More info on the Holden SCoil it is used in the M90 SC unit on the SC'd V6 VT Commies.
I rang holden and they sell for $33.90 for a 120ml bottle.
Though... now I know the viscosity i need I will look around... including try to find some of this Syntrax stuff!

Penrith Toyota has Supercharger Oil, 02 47364888 you can purchase it of them.
The Supercharger takes 130ml's, Toyota sell the oil in 50ml container with the syringe and the Hose. You insert that in the Dip stick hole.
