What oil to use ? Spark Plugs?Air Filter Brand and Fuel Filter?

Post by SmokyWheels »

Hello,Everyone,I'm New Here!

I've got MR2 Turbo 1993 and I want to give the car a good service. So there is a few questions.

1st What oil to use ? Spark Plugs?Air Filter Brand and Fuel Filter?

2nd How often should I change the engine oil?

3rd Where is cheapest place to buy in UK?

My driving habits is unusual and I use the car daily,sometimes I drive it like I stole it.[Very Happy]

The car is stock and running 16 to 17 psi according to the gauge mounted inside the instrument panel or cluster.

Your advise based on your experience will be appreciated! [thumleft]

Many Thanks

Is it a relatively standard turbo? 16/17 psi isn't stock boost, have you got an aftermarket gauge?

Oil filter, most people will recomend oem toyota. I've had no problem with MAHLE/MANN ones.

Oil, it depends on how cold it gets there! I'd alway go with a fully synthetic though.

You'll find the stock filters come out expensive online £30 ish..

I found this is the same and works great on my 93 turbo.
