Bimrose oil, I have used it for the last 5 years and nothing I have used comes within a bulls roar of it, but it does cost a little more, as far as gear oils go Bimrose again, its a funny thing but when you get used to running top oils all the time and for some stupid reason I decide to run a major brand of oil again to see just how the old girl feels, it becomes obvious why I treat her with what works

We use Castrol RX Super in our two work Hilux 2.8s. It seems to work good.
Any good quality oil does the job if you change it and the filter often.

Hi every body,
It's better to use sinthetic or mineral oil?

Hey Tomas, prob best to stick to the grade and base oil that the manufacturer recommends, after all, they designed the thing. However if you are racing, then stick to synths. They cost more generally, but nobody remembers who came second.
Built, not bought.
