Hi certain that someone can supply the answers very quickly.... What grade of oil should I use for my PP1 and what are the front and rear recommended tyre pressures? The car is 100% standard with the front wheels smaller than the rear etc. Cheers.

i use Castrol Magnatec 10-40
according to sticker on car, pressures are front 1.8 kg/cm ( 26 psi ), rear 2.0 kg/cm(29 psi)
Thanks for your reply!
SAE 10W30 recommended for Japanese climate.(as per manual)
There's not much difference, and anyway I suspect oil formulations have changes since the cars were new. The "10W" is more important for cold climates where you want oil pressure to build up fast when starting.
More important to me are tyre pressures. I usually lower the fronts a pound or 2 and have been known to throw a bag of gravel into the spare when the roads are slippery like now in rainy season.
