I use at the moment Redline gear oils in the transmissions, tfr case and diff of my 2 Toyotas. However it is time for scheduled change and I note that the Amsoil equivalents are just over half the cost of Redline here in Australia (USA prices are about the same) Is Redline worth the extra or...

Does anyone use this in their 4 stroke lawnmower/small engines? I use it in my cars with success, just wondering if it is ok for small engines in the same dose/dilution as for cars. Roger

When a dealer does routine brake fluid change do they syphon the master cylinder reservoir first then pump out each wheel cylinder whilst topping off the m/c.? Or do they just pump the existing fluid in the m/c through the system whilst topping off? Also with ABS do you think they open the abs...

I have a Toyota Kluger/Highlander V6 and Corolla here in Australia. The Kluger service book says to change plugs at 100k kms/62k miles and the Corolla book at 40k kms /25k miles but on the Toyota USA website they tell us to change plugs for both models at 120k miles! Also the Australian models...

Does anyone use these filters and do they consider they are as good as say Toyota oem filters? Roger

The Castrol Australia website recommends Castrol Transmax Z synthetic atf for my Toyota Kluger/Highlander V6 transmission when it is out of warranty. Has anyone experience of this atf as a replacement for Type 1V? Roger

I can buy the Purolator and Valvoline filters here in Australia at half the price of the Toyota OEM. Both my Toyotas are still under new car warranty, do you think the non OEM filters are as good, and I believe fitting the non OEM filters will not cause any possible warranty issues. Roger

I am replacing the p/s fluid using synthetic on my Toyota Kluger/Highlander by the turkey baster method. The total volume of the system is 1 liter and I can only replace 150 m/l at a time from the reservoir, how many changes do you all advise to ensure a good % change to the synthetic. Thanks in...

I have a Toyota Kluger/Highlander and Toyota Corolla and nowhere can I find out the capacity of the power steering systems fluid. Anyone know? Also is there any benefit in changing out the factory fill steering fluids at 25k and 6k miles respectively and replacing with Redline? Roger

Topped up my stash today. Mobil 1 10W-30 $82 AUD for 5 litres, Castrol Edge synthetic 5W-30 $39 AUD for 5 litres. Now I know the Castrol is grp 111 but so is the Mobil. So now I have a stash of the Castrol and my affair with Mobil is at an end. Roger

This is a silly question so I apologise in advance. Having just started to use the Redline fuel additive system, a small dose in each tank of fuel, do you add the Redline before filling the tank or after the tank is full or does it not matter? Many thanks in advance if you reply. Roger

Does the board consider it is worth the expense of using Redline oil for 6k OCI for my 2 Toyotas, Corolla and Kluger/Highlander V6? The OCI is to comply with warranty. I have been using Mobil 1 but was going to change to Castrol Edge, the latter being a quarter of the price of Redline and half...

Which is the best filter? Just found out I can obtain the Pure Ones in Australia at a little cheaper than Toyota OEM for my Kluger (Highlander) and Corolla, although the cost difference is not an issue. Roger

I have a Toyota Kluger (Highlander) AWD and as per 40kms service the transfer box and differential oil where changed by the dealer (still under warranty) However I wish to change out the oils and use Redline synthetic, 75W-90 GL-5, in both as I believe the oils the dealer used were of inferior...

I would appreciate your opinions. Car - 2006 Toyota Corolla 1.8 manual transmission 4000 miles. Want to change to synthetic mt fluid, choices are Redline MT90 75W-90 GL-4 or Mobil Delvac Synthetic 75W-90 GL-5. The owners book advises use of either GL-4 or GL5 and I intend to change now and then...

I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla with manual gearbox and currently with 3.5 k miles. When do you advise to change gearbox oil, I am going to use Redline 75W-90 and also do you recommend GL-4 or GL-5, the handbook says either. I want to keep this car forever. Many thanks. Roger

Can anyone recommend a good mtf for the 2006 1.8 5spd manual gearbox. Handbook says 75W-90 GL-4 or GL-5 and as I intend to keep the car forever I want to put in the best oil possible and change every 30k miles. I have in mind Mobil or Redline who both do synthetics in this viscosity but Mobil...

Personally I change at 1k and 2.5k with Havoline dino then Mobil 1 at 5k then follow 5k oci as per Toyota schedule. Have done this with my 2005 Kluger/Highlander V6 and 2006 Corolla. Maybe not essential but I enjoy doing it and the cost is not a major factor. Roger

Posted topic on Oil Filter board. New Toyota Corolla factory fitted filter looks a super quality compared to ones bought from dealer, different serial numbers.Changed initial fill and original filter at 2.2k kms, am concerned I should have left initial oil fill in to be filtered by this...
