We can still buy delo here in NZ I figured for sure it would still be available in aus

Nice you can still get it there. It's not been available here for a while. A 200 L drum would rust out before I could do 20 oil/filter changes. 8-) My last drum of it purchased a few years back was a 20 L

Another 'gullwing' option is no gullwings and weld steel plates into place to fully remove the side cargo windows. My 80 is beyond all of this with the condition of the body in my view. Cost to try and address the rusting makes it unviable at...

3/92 - the older style dash.

Did t-belt, tensioner and water pump a little while back, so now the shim job is very overdue. I've done it once before nearly 10 yrs ago when 80 went over 600 k km's. Now it's at about 718 k km's. I have the toyota valve spring tool, and...

Contemplating doing some queued up jobs, notably accessing the defective airbox, on my 80 plus some other dash related things, and before I get stuck into removing the dash entirely I would like to know if there are any tips/tricks involved or if...

Thanks - I don't know enough about oils and oil chemistry hence the questions. Can a 15w-50 oil mix ok with a 15w-40 spec one just out of interest?

No problems at all mixing 154W40's from different brands. The 1HZ would be fine with olive oil in the crankcase. It's a low stress application with no special needs.

Thanks. Is it safe to mix oils from different makers if the specs are the same/similar or would that be likely to cause problems? I'm sure the 1hz will be fine with just under 9 L of new oil.

Would like to oil change my 80's 1hz motor. It's at 718 k km's. I have up to now used Castrol Delo 400 multigrade but apparently that product doesn't exist anymore (here in Australia at least). Allegedly something related to Caltex losing it's...
