I was told 20 is too thick but 15w something or other was the dogs bollocks, the oil is outside and it's 1am I'll check tomorrow if I remember I see what the other half is. It's probably got about 10-15,000 km's on it.

The original users manual says you can put 20W50 in it and I think that might be what's in my parents car (same engine as mine 4AGE)

Everyone seems to swear by Penrite HPR30 here.

I just got back into a AE82 4AGE Seca and the motor seems very, very strong. Excellent Throttle response, sounds good and even up big hills in 4th gear the car pulls. The gearbox is the tightest AE82 box i have felt. Only thing is there is a muffler and its way too loud.

An oil change is just necessary for my car - but im not sure what the guy used last.
I was thinking of GTX 2 as i have used this before, and its a 20-50 but you guys seem to love the HPR30 which is thicker i beleive.

Im unsure atm...
