Better Battery

Hi

I am looking for advice on what battery to go for on my mr2 rev3 turbo.

The one I have looks really small and keeps dying after a few days of non use of car. Just looking for a upgrade if there is one that will fit?

Thanks

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Oils

About to service my MR2 Turbo for the first time and I am also looking for an answer on what oil to use for a Rev 3 Turbo? and gear box oil if anyone can advise that would be great.

My local shop says 5w-30 fully synthetic is this correct?
