Hi guys
I have recently bought a 2001 100 series TD 4 sepeed auto, and have a few questions I was hoping people with the same could answer for me....

1: What type and weight oil do people recommend?

2: What sort of fuel economy can be expected? (Both with and without towing) On a recent trip up north towing my 16ft centre console boat - sitting on 100ks/hr I was getting 18l/100k's - I thought this was terrible as it has very little windage and isnt that heavy. I also have a Tracklander roofrack which wouldnt have helped...

3: When I hooked up the boat trailer lights it blew a fuse that locked up the auto, and basically stopped the car in its tracks (across the road....). I eventually found the fuse and then about a k later it blew again when I was indicating left. After that I didnt indicate again for the whole trip from Bunbury to Exmouth and back, and it didnt blow again.... Does anyone else who has had this happen know what is causing it???

Thanks heaps!!

Drew
