.

yet another person pre occupied with engine life

theres alot more to a 4by than the donk generally after about 300k they start needing a fair bit of maintance sooner if used hard and later if not often the cost of a motor is cheap compared to what gets spent on everything else

Lucas,
My 1995 1Hz troopy has done just on 400,000 so it is a youngster.

1. - I did not buy it new but I know that it was worked hard on a farm which would have involved quite a bit of short haul stop start stuff.

2. I change oil every 5,000 as did the original owner

3. I use Penrite Diesel which is a non-synthetic. There is a synthetic version which is use in my 100 series. I would assume that your new engine would have the appropriate material used for the seals etc so that you can use synthetic without a problem. It causes major issues in older vehicles causing seals to harden and fail. The handbook will advise.

4. I change the filter with every oil change. I use genuine ones which cost about $30 ea.

5. My fuel consumption is on trips varies from 9 to 13 L/100k depending on conditions, but typically I get around 11. I do not tow with this vehicle - for that I use the 100 series with the factory turbo.

Oil consumption is about 1/2L between changes with up to 1L if the weather is very hot and I am working it hard. This has not changed over the last 200K and I don't worry as it does not blow noticeable smoke.

The cylinder compressions were tested about 100K ago and all were ok. I am happy this engine will keep going for a long time yet.

cheers
