Thread: Toyota or nissan V6

I seriously looked at the 1GR 4 litre Toyotas but stuck with a diesel for towing and river crossings etc. Weekend vehicle so not too fussed on fuel costs. One issue I found (admittedly from reading the net and a couple of vehicles I looked at) with the Toyota motors are oil feed problems resulting in motors needing rebuilt. A fair bit of it I think is due to short runs causing sludging. Check under the oil filler caps and down the fill tubes. Will give an idea of what the inside is like. Both Prados in town I looked at were bloody bad. Maybe supermarket/school runners which wouldn’t help. Other than that they seem to be a bloody good motor. I think @Flyblown has had a good run from them?
