Is an additive needed ........

[granite]

G'day folks.

I have recently purchased a 1974 Toyota Trayback cruiser for farm work. It has the old "F" engine. My question is, do I need to add an additive to the unleaded fuel I put in it? If so, which one?

Secondly, is there a particular brand or type of oil that I should use with this donk?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Granite some flashlube upper cycliner lube would be ok @ 1ml per liter this will help protect from valve seat recession. In regards to oil any good oil would be ok Shell, Castrol, Mobil, Valvoline etc etc.

Thanks for the tip. Will get some and give it a go. Hope you're giving the foxes hell!

Ahh nothing quite like a 22-250 with nosler 50gr ballistic tips

Use a .17 Rem most of time :) , but the .243 with 55gn ballistic tips does work a treat :waycool:

55gn out of a 243 :-) ( its the way matter splatters that matters ) went out fox shooting last night it got that windy even at 200 yards was pushing the 50gr nearly 3". We ended up using the oldmans 25-06 with 110gn Noslers just to combat the wind on some of the longer shots.
I remember one time up at Warracknabeal the wind was that strong and because of it being so flat and tree less up there I was using the good ol 303 with Sierra 174gn HPBT match pills. It ended up a expensive day and night but what fun ( 18 foxes with the longest shot taken was just over 600 yards ) helps when ur running a 20 power Leupold scope..

Six hundred yards - good stuff! 320 is my best on a rabbit. The cousin took out a crow at 450 once. The .243 will push the 55 grainers at 4000fps if you load them up to near max. Keep mine down a bit to preserve the barrel, but still rolling around 3600. Have you tried the Barnes 36gn "Grenades" in the 22-250 yet? They supposed to work rather emphatically! ;) Off in a couple of days out Cobar way for a week to do my bit for the environment (and dispatch a significant number of ferals) :D

You are very conservative with your loads on the 243 the 50gn out of the 250 are doing when lats checked just on 3750 fps, I can push harder but like you replacing barrels isn't cheap. I have a few properties that on a calm day sit back about 400 yards with the 250 and bust bunnies. I haven't tryed the Barnes pills before since I found the current load I use. It shots .25 MOA but after 15 or so shots it starts to fall due to copper fouling which is a bit of a pain ( cleaning in the field ).
Have fun up at Cobar.
