Hey, i'm sure this topic has been covered a thousand times, but have searched the forums and cant find anything.

The risto is due for a service and i have a chance today, so looking for a quick answer on which oil to use or what oil you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance :)

castrol edge 5w-30 for mine. Was using penrite 10w-40 but i prefer the castrol.

Factory recommendation for oil is 5w-30, so something close to that in a brand you like will be fine

DO NOT use Mobil.

Go for 10/30 or 10/40. Higher if the engine has head issues.

which specification is that, just the normal titan GTO?
i'm having trouble settling on an oil when my car goes back together.
stuck between fuchs, motul, nulon and royal purple
just a 140,000 1jz with gt35r and oil cooler

Well, my aristo takes 5w30 castrol edge, same as my 180sx, so thats easier for me.

I do believe the engine has a sticker on it saying 10w 30 :P

If you've got fucked valve stem seals (as most aristos/2js do.. :/) throw in a heavier oil to stop the smoke screen. Wouldn't go higher than 15w myself though.
