There are loads of brands of Oils and Fluids out there for your truck, so where do you start? It’s hard enough finding out the type of fluids you need let alone working out which brands you can trust.
Having tried a fair few brands ourselves over the last 25 years. Here’s some info on why we supply the Brands we do.
Why do we sell Toyota Oils and Fluid?
The main reason we use Toyotas oils is that they have been tested extensively in Toyotas to ensure that they help your vehicle run as smoothly and efficiently as it can with the minimum amount of wear. Let’s face it, they aren’t going to scrimp in this area!
Which Toyota Products do we sell?
We stock their Engine Oil, Differential Oil, Suspension Fluid, AHC Oil and Power Steering Fluid. These products are designed to Protect, deliver maximum power, save energy, help your vehicle cope in different conditions and keep your vehicle lasting as long as possible.
Pub Quiz Fact! - Did you know that Toyota was originally called Toyoda which means ‘fertile rice paddy’? Not surprisingly they changed their name to Toyota to avoid associations with the farming industry. Also to write Toyota it only takes eight strokes which is a lucky number! Cool or what!
Why do we sell Aisin Transmission Fluids?
Aisin has a strong history dating back to 1943 when they were first established. They were originally known as Tokai Koku Kogyo Co., Ltd when they first started manufacturing aircraft engines. Over the years they moved onto Clutches and Transmission. Dabbling in goods for the home such as sewing machines, beds for Toyotas and shower toilets seats. Not the most natural of progressions but hey!
Toyota now owns around 30% of Aisin, but they are allowed to trade under the name of Aisin for a few of their products.

Why do we sell Fuchs Gear Oil?
Fuchs is a highly reputable Germany company that have been producing high-quality oils and lubricants since the 1930s. Fuchs is actually the German word for Fox – neat little fact for you!
To strengthen its brand Fuchs acquired the long-standing British company Silkolene in 1989. Silkolene is well known for producing lubricants for aviation and their products were even used in the engines of the Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane.
Fuchs now produces a range of oils and lubricants for trucks, cars, motorbikes, buses, agricultural and plant equipment, and they are one of the few manufacturers to meet the high specifications required by Toyota.
