I am betting that in that time you did about 40000 km

If it is worth it for you to get out the vehicle as soon as you reach your destination; invest in a timer (i think it should cost less than $1000 to buy and install)
On the other hand if you can wait the 1-2 minutes in the vehicle when you arrive at your destination and or slow down when you are getting close to your destination; you can save the money
I saved myself some money
I use the time to put up my sun-visor and check my phone before i exit the vehicle.
i could be wrong here but i think the turbo in the KDs are solely oil cooled.

so true. good answer. i get this question all the time. it really depends on driving habits. if you are the type of person who drives fast/spirited driving and then switch off engine right after, then get a turbo timer. for me a turbo timer is your front gate, get home, leave engine idling, open front gate, drive inside- cheapest turbo timer ever.

I am not sure if turbocharged vehicles come with timers from any manufacturer for that matter; If so there aren't that many.
I remember reading a similar warning on a subaru WRX that was stuck in the cabin near the ignition...

The book says.....
Under 80 km....normally city driving...no need for idle down..
At 80km .....idle for 20 seconds.
At 100km and above....idle for one minute.....
I got one installed today...oem fit so it looks like factory installed....
Has automatic mode so it adjust itself automatically to determine how long van needs to idle before engine cuts off....So this mode is good for me....just to be on the safe side.....if it needs to idle down it will....if not it will cut off once I turn ignition off..
kamakazi wrote:K&N
Some report problems due to oil deposits on the mass airflow sensor. Personally I believe that K&N is a poor filter and I would replace it. It is your vehicle though and if you want to keep it installed.... I think the literature states 50000kms before recharging
My solution is a bit ....different
I am currently using a sakura air filter that is lightly coated with K&N filter oil. Replaced my original after 35000kms

I have a 2012 Hilux 3.0, 4x2. Does anyone know how much fluid is required when doing a rear-differential drain and refill. Manual says 1 liter but that seems kinda low. I would also appreciate any recommendations for fluid brands (spec. is 75w-90 GL4 or GL5)

Search this thread for diff fluid and you will see a post that I made concerning the change.
You need approx 3 quarts
I wanted to save money so I purchased Valvoline 80w90 high performance gear oil gl5
