sadly for me, the stop leak i tried only worked for about 2 days..
..How much diesel engine noise is appropriate? I read on the last thread that the diesel engine makes noise cause of how thw diesel combusts but how much is really enough??
Before the oil change I noticed that engine noise increased which I assume is a sign of the oil breaking down but my fuel efficiency increased
I got 874km on 95 dollors of diesel only being filled at unipet in La Romain. But as soon as the oil was changed the engine got quiet yes but the fuel efficiency dropped
Another question out of this...Does this mean that the grade of oil that Toyota is giving me is too thick?? I don't even know the grade

This issue is relevant to all the diesel tuners so help would be beneficial to us all...
I have heard mention of Sookhai's diesel, but does anyone know how much this service would cost there?
Also, what other alternative locations are available for this?

You can usually ask the tech's or the service manager what oil they use. AFAIK toyota uses Total Synthetic blend, 15W40, though I'm not 100% sure. The other guys on this forum would know better than me.

So the problem only exists at higher rpms?? At what rpm do you normally shift at / does the problem occur?Team Loco wrote:yeah, i have a problem, my truck ent wash in 5 weeks...........
