This anyone ?
You do not have to remove the stone shield to do an oil change in the mk6 hilux unless you have something aftermarket.pugboy wrote:Nah, the hilux sump plug is in a recessed area
Plus there is a suspension cross beam just below as well and the stone shield plate too
When draining oil a fair bit usually hits the cross beam and makes some mess
Did you use the same spec?V2NR 3.0 wrote:^ This is what comes OEM from the firm. The Ford dealership has it, but it’s strictly for their use or so they say. I changed the motocraft to Mobil when I did my service outside from the dealership and it has a sticky feeling to it - so wanna go back to what the firm uses.

Using the wrong class of oil can cause those sorts of problems

Yup buddy, I’m a detailed kinda spec guy so went through the owners manual with a fine tooth comb. Was reliably informed that the Shaeffer (spellings) or the red line works well. But I’d rather revert back to the motocraft.
No mess with the fumuto drain plug valve thoughkamakazi wrote:You do not have to remove the stone shield to do an oil change in the mk6 hilux unless you have something aftermarket.pugboy wrote:Nah, the hilux sump plug is in a recessed area

I first started using Gulf Fleetforce Synth 10w40
Then I started using Gulf Superfleet Supreme 15w40 when I realized that synthetics while good, aren't necessary for me, as I cannot extract the full benefit.
I am currently giving Wolf Vitaltech 15w40 a try. Haven't heard much about it but I do know it has been on market for a while. Initial impression is good but I have just changed my oil.
