welcome

Thank you Dean!  I was able to work it out with the seller..  crisis resolved!

I tend to run Morris Oils Versimax HD3 mineral oil, 20w-50. It's sold as an oil for diesel engines, but has been recommended and used by the FJOC here for over 3 decades (it was previously called Ringfree).

My experience of synthetic oil in my first FJ was not good. I used motorcycle specific Silkolene 10w-40 fully synthetic oil and within 50 miles my clutch started to slip under acceleration.

Fixing the oil and going back to 20w-50 mineral oil didn't help. I had to put in new clutch plates.

Ever since then resisted the temptation to go for "better" synthetic oil.

My current FJ has never had anything but mineral oil (Morris, or Yamalube 20w-50) in it and at 107,000 miles has never had any issues with clutch slip, or anything sense related to oil.

I'll just stick with what I know works.

I've sent you a message Tim, happy to help.

Just confirmed a Cabin from Friday through Monday....  I'll be there for the weekend!

First rally in many years!  Looking forward to it to say the least.
