What’s normal for Toyota’s V8 Diesel
The following is an extract from Toyota’s Customer Information Sheet on Landcruiser oil consumption.
“The engine was developed for performance and fuel efficiency with low friction engine components such as; resin coated pistons, low tension piston rings, low viscosity oils and is expected to use a nominal amount of oil. 1 litre/8000ks for normal conditions. 1 litre/5000ks for severe operation conditions such as; sustained high speed operation, frequent and hard acceleration and deacceleration, high engine load conditions such as towing or high payload conditions, prolonged low speed operation particularly in low range"
It also goes on to say that;
Top up is not necessary if oil level on dip stick is between low and high mark.
Top up with 1 litre, within 300ks, if low level oil CAUTION light goes on.
Stop vehicle if low oil pressure WARNING light goes on.
