welcome aboard TDR enjoy
cheers guys, good to see it looks like there will be a lot of people to help me out if anything turns pear shaped!!!
cheers Ted for the info on the oils, exactly what i plan to do!
with my patrol having over 360K on it would i be better off going for a thicker oil than 15w/ 40 or would that be overkill and cause the engine to work harder than need be?
Don't know where you are mate but in the service manual they state that Australian Patrols can run a 20w/40 or 20w/50 in hot temperatures even. However Castrol & others state that a 10w/40 is sufficient, I decided to go inbetween as I'm in NSW (Newcastle) and going into winter now.
A thicker oil wouldnt be a bad idea for an older engine, however if your in SA or such using a thicker oil wouldn't do your engine much good when you start it cold.
Good luck giving the old girl some needed love mate
alright cheers for that, and with the oil filter you say x2 z115... mines got only 1 filter and its a z705? i think my engine is a tb42 - only 1 filter?
