I am a big believer in "if it aint broke, dont fix it" so I have never pulled the injectors or done any of the other tests.
Oil get changed every 10,000 kilometres. (6,000 miles) and it is normal oil. Looks the same as my dads when he was never using WMO.
Does not seem to burn any oil. But who would know, it might be laking past the rings and staying in the sump. But it never gets any fuller than that the amount that I put in there. So I guess that is a bit of an unknown. But for more than 100,000 miles with no problems... I am not complaining or asking questions..

Where abouts in Aus are you?I have a sister in Bowen,we did the east coast with them from sydney,the reef,up north, stinger nets,gator land,you know that town with the ariel tramway over the jungle,great country, perhaps some of those on this thread may at least learn to ask a question or two before they roll over and kiss butt,as for their chief cheerleader i've learned to consider the source,they say his avitar is his wife so his mood swings are understandable On this forum,check out what the owners of the 6.7 cummins are finding with their engines,my take,they are either spending all their time at the dealership repairing,replacing turbos,plugged up dpf etc.some are selling out of frustration or lemon lawing them...others are removing and throwing the egr and dpf away,and reporting the engine is now running as it should,awsome performance and better on fuel, Could the soot entering the engine via the egr system(not via the injection system) be the problem here,they seem to be indicating premature turbo wear and complete failure,everything plugged with soot,a reasonable person could probably guess this might speed up engine wear as well. so does this mean soot and dirt ruins engines? where I live a smoking exhaust gets you booted out of the line up to even take the emission test,and with no pass,no insurance,no insurance no on the road.have a read,let us know,oh and how long do those toyota diesels usually last? cheers
