^^ Heh... Yeah...

Anyways, I noticing some oil burn off - About 1/2 quart low using this TurboGuardian. Not bad for the ole girl doing 163,000 km. Will consider switching back to the 25W50... If the oil situation deteriorates.

roadhog, 25w50 is the grade for high mileage diesel engines... the castrol turbomax/viscus comes in this grade.

bleedingfreak · Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2006 10:55 am Post subject:

That's what I saying. If I realize that the burnoff is too much. I'll switch back to the 25W50.

What is the recommended viscosity for these diesel N/A engines?

15W-40?

^ yeah 15w-40 can work... it's what those turbo engines use

Fellas, got a question that's not really maintenance related....

I'm looking for a roll bar for the Hilux. Not the one that looks like chrome pipes/stainless steel.

Who sell these accesories?
