Hi,
I have 97 Diesel Surf with 1KZ 3000cc engine auto transmission.
Yesterday, I opened the engine oil cap while engine was running. I kept a clean cloth for few minutes, several times with breaks on top of it.
No oil return/back compression. What does this indicate? Does this mean rings, bearings and engine in good shape? Should I still go to mechanic for checks of timing belt, bearings, rings, etc?
I only know these names since this is my first SUV.
I have no idea of Diesel engines. All I was told was to change oil filter, diesel filter and oil every 5000km. Help please. Thanks.
