Hi out there to all you V 8 cruiser owners.
My question is, is anybody noticing if their new cruiser is using any oil between
services?
My reason for asking is one of our work V8s is using 1 litre per 1 thousand kms. This may be a one off but i don't think so.
The vehicle in question has just click over twenty thousand kms.
Cheers Phil

Have two v8 troopy's at work and they used oil in the beginning but stopped somewhere between 1-2000 k's and have settled down to using very little now.....both have done 10 to 20,000 k's. But the first one had a gearbox change out at about 9000k's. Two of our hilux's have a lot of troubles BUT they do get hammered.....the fitters ute has 3 gearboxes...the lecky's engine troubles with the fuel injection....a lot of starter motor failures....and clutches.
We have tried all other types of vehicles and they don't last....all we buy is toyota now...cruisers, utes, troopy's, hilux's, prado's..despite the above issues they seem to be the only ones that can handle what we throw at them.
