My 1st question re the new car - want to do an oil change straight away -

Also wats best a performance oil filter form fensport or the standard toyota part

Cheers Guys for all your help

i use mobile 15W50, heard thats the best for hard driving, little thinner in the winter, but i never did!

a toyota filter is the best to get, only slightly more expensive than a fensport one, infact no, on top of fensports, they charge about £5 for delivery. just go to your local mr T, order one, and pick it up the same week.

HTH!

im pretty sure most peeps use mobile 1, but it varies what type peeps want to get.
most either get 10W40 or 15W50.

cheap as well, if you know where to get it!
i got 5ltrs of mobile 1 15W50 for £28 in halfords a while back!

Nice one Nick! Hope the car turns out to be as good as it looked. I'm using Mobil 1 15/50 at the moment which seems to be working nicely.

I'd definitely consider bunging in a new air filter and why not a dizzy cap & rotor arm while you're at it....if it doesn't need them now it won't be long :wink: .

Did you come to a decision re alarm/immobiliser by the way?
