At the end of the year I will be changing all the fluids in my car
Aswell as replacing acouple of other certain things in the car
Have searched and found Disciple's thread with some fliuds that people recommended

Oils-

Engine: Penrite Fully Synthetic 5W-50 5L + filter
Gearbox: Redline MT90 4L
Axle: Inclusive of Gearbox.

Fluids-

Coolant: Mitsi. - 3LTR
Brake: Castrol Super DOT 4 - 500ml
Clutch: Inclusive of brake fluid.

Just wanted to know what other people recommended?
Will also be changing the radiator hoses and such aswell
Any help would be great :)

i would prolly go with a penrite hpr10 over the 5-50...50 just seems abit thick to me

instead of the mits coolant use nulon

plugs and leads you can do if they havnt been done in a while, just remember to use platinums in the rear bank, as for hoses sure check them but you wont need to replace unless they actually need it

been a bit off topic recently on using engine cleaning addatives,... some do some dont maybe do a search and make your own opinion

HPR10 is what most people use in penrite.

as for coolant if you do a full flush im fairly sure its roughly a little less than 10L. I put about 6L into my legnum and we just took the water pump off so not everything drained fully i think.


the mitsi stuff is stupidly expensive though. $55 for 5L already mixed - no mix yourself options.

I went with nulon for mine. didnt wanna go SCA or tectaloy, seemed toooo cheap lol.

Redline MT90 is great... it is also expensive.

Castrol VMX-M is pretty much factory fill
