Adam, good filter and good oil is what you need.

I would have a look to see what vortec suggest in terms of oil weights to suit the blower but I would suspect a 5w30 or 5w40 fully synthetic ie Amsoil.

David for the record i did have a little look first before making this post, including reading the Basic Maintenance section.

I had a look at the oil this evening and it looked fine and full.

Damian, cheers mate :-)

Well tonight i got some parts.

Shell Helix Ultra 5W 40 full synthetic.
Ryco 418 filter
DOT 4 brake fluid top up

Next stage is a complete radiator flush and redo with Toyota red or equivalent. My digital temp gauge has been sitting in the low 90s lately so im sure something is clogged up in the radiator.

Plugs seem fine.
