🤦🏽‍♂️ Unlike the DATA and information online, your video is not scientific. If you don’t want to do any research, that’s fine. Don’t encourage everyone else to waste their money and believe diesel oil is bad as soon as it turns black (within a hundred kilometers of an oil change).

Bhai. Meri gari ka 1800km per bhi black nai hua. "Hundreds" is less than 1800... No?

[mshoaib432722]

Yaar waisay if u read first post of the thread, Billo saab clearly says "Toyota recommends 2500km which seems odd". Mujhay b revo k liay they said same... 2500 se 3000. Aap bhi dubara check kerlo toyota se. I am in lahore and was told by toyota Ravi motors.

[uansari11]

I am positive my Service Advisor said 5000km, and am convinced if anyone at a showroom says 2500km interval, they don’t know what they’re talking about or they just want more money. This new engine isn’t as maintenance intensive as the older ones. Also, I’m attaching our own owners manual (p. 507) recommendation that applies to Pakistan. For dusty environments, they recommend a 5000km OCI for the 1GD and 2GD. “Others” includes the 1KD-FTV and 5L-E Toyota engines.

If you see p. 500, it tells you the “normal” change interval is 10,000km/6,000miles or 12 months, but at least in Karachi it’s too dusty for that.

But a diesel engine is diesel engine all your points are valid but still i prefer a diesel engine

[enigma]

But people state Prado 2.7 has not pick up/power, is that true?

[mshoaib432722]

Any petrol engine will have more pickup than a diesel engine.
Reason: search "petrol homogeneous mixture" on google. Diesel engines csn never have this thing so they are slower... always.

[uansari11]

Then please explain why the diesel Fortuner is 1 second faster when going from 0-100km/hr, despite being around 150kg heavier than the petrol variant.

[mshoaib432722]

Based on ur knowledge, i will request all the major vehicle manufacturers to make diesel racing cars now onwards... sonce those will be faster than the petrol equivalent

Thanks a lot that was what I was looking for. I had heard weird stuff like Diesel needs monthly tuneups and whatnot.

[uansari11]

You're making no sense. Here we are discussing only the two variants of the Toyota Fortuner. Facts are facts, and the diesel engine is more powerful than the petrol version. I'm sure the 2.4L 2GD-FTV would be slower than the 2.7L petrol...but that's not the engine that we have in Pakistan.

You were wrong about the oil change interval, and you're wrong about this too.

[uansari11]

Sure...any time. Just be meticulous with respect to timely preventative maintenance, and you should be satisfied.

[mshoaib432722]

Whatever u say about oil changing interval, my seller (Toyota Ravi) say to change at 3000km, so i must change it as they say... U sell me from ur showroom giving me 5000km interval, i will obey u... since U have to give me the warantee claim then... Nothing more to say to you!!!

I sure hope to do that. Sadly, my parents have asked me to not buy a Fortuner now It seems that it's OK to invest money and buy a 1 Kanal plot or house but having SUVs triggers weird tax audits and negative eyes are attracted to why a 37 years old has a new SUV to his name even though I have all halal income and I have never done anything wrong. But my parents are afraid an that makes me uncomfortable to go with the decision. My parents are all educated and everything and they throughout our generations/family we have never had an SUV I made halal income and wanted to purchase this SUV so I can drive easily coz I am 6.5 foot tall and wanted to make my parents proud of what I have become based on my personal decisions of not pursuing a govt job and going for private sector with engineering degree. But sadly, if they are going to be worried all the time that makes me uncomfortable. I am also not sure what to do now. Otherwise I have had decided to go for Diesel Engine.

[uansari11]

Sorry to hear that...but in the end, it's just a car. Family is more important.

Honestly, I only bought a Fortuner because I needed a car asap and because I enjoy off-roading. I just moved back to Pakistan, and work in Karachi's SITE area, so I also contend with severely broken roads. If I didn't need it, I would have waited to see what Kia and Hyundai release next year. I'm willing to bet a Kia Santa Fe or Hyundai Sportage will be higher quality and much lower cost than the overpriced, locally built Fortuner.

Looking forward to them!

Toyota Islamabad G-6 also recommended 2500KMs

[umersohail1]

From the p507 snapshot you shared isn’t it clear that 2500KMs is the recommended interval? They say South Africa, Russia and Thailand @ 5,000KMs. Others 2,500KMs
It is however a very elusive subject. I wish I could speak to someone reliable at Toyota. Like an engineer not a sales guy or service advisor

[uansari11]

Bro, the normal service interval for 1GD is 10,000km or 6 months as written in the manual. For “severe duty” it’s 5,000km or 3 months. The “Others” is defined in the manual as the 5LE engine! Just read the manual and your questions will be answered.
