it's funny, I had my 9Drive set to like the mid sports setting, and agree it can be a bit 'too' much at times, now I'm on the setting above 'Normal' on half way in. so, Setting 1.5 and find it more than enough. Lots of others on here don't believe in the difference they make until they've...

Usually people do the opposite. I'm not sure on how the wiring harness is setup for the SatNav setup you have. Changing the facia is EASY but it's the wiring that might cause you some grief, if it's the same wiring setup as a non-sat nav Unit, then it's all pretty easy. You'll lose the USB...

@hotshot 5691 - you sure you're not a covert Amsoil rep hiding in the Navara forums? hehe :)

thanks mate, in all honesty - I never run oil longer than 8000k's in my cars, always change oil filter and do fuel filters at 20k. Out of Penrite / Valvoline / Mobil and even Castrol, when they've got my oil at 50% off for a sale I usually load up. They've all be decent for how I use the cars

we see and hear a lot about Amsoil here in Aus via US youtube channels.. Amsoil doesn't exist here. In saying that, oils like Nulon here in Aus are great. I've even been using Gulf Western oil and it's been great. Sick of paying for Castrol brand markup

I remember reading a handful of articles and one was from an engineer I think from Toyota? (could have just been a Toyota tech) - it was along the lines of de-bunking the whole "old engines need thicker oils".. it made sense when he called out that the engine was engineered to run that specific...

the 15 seems a bit too high in all honesty. Yes it's an older engine with more K's but remember all the galleries and ports were engineered for 5 rating. I have 260k on mine and still use 5-30 religiously at 10k intervals. Fuchs is a good oil, the Titan range is more for commercial use...

out of curiosity, what happened? did she overheat and pop the head gasket? or you just randomly noticed a power drop / compression loss / milky oil, etc? I've heard that the moment they run a bit warm (overheat) they love to pop the gasket or crack the head I'm running the YD25 Diesel as well.

I wouldn't, whenever I've pulled a head off, I've always replaced the bolts, especially if there are improved aftermarket options. Those bolts have been changing shape for many years of heat and pressure, best to replace them.

the Toyota ICE running on Hydrogen looks and sounds like a typical petrol based engine driveline.. I'm hoping this overtakes electric as it seems a cleaner path overall when it comes to creating the stuff vs mining all that cobalt / lithium.

Ahhh Jatco, such a love hate relationship with them. When they make a decent box, it's decent.. Then they made the pile of garbage CVT for all Nissans that fail before 50k Kms (even mine twice).

I did a bit of a shock treatment and added the 500mls to about a 1/4 tank.. didn't say anywhere on the can I couldn't do it :) Agree, every 10K oil / filter change I always do Fuel Filter as well, so dumping a can of this stuff in the tank will be a perm part of my regime.

Mate, I've never really believed in Additives apart from just helping a bit and keeping things running, more of a preventative rather than a corrective action. I'm sold on this stuff.

Have you guys tried Liqui Molly Diesel Injector Cleaner? I'm not one to believe hype and I usually take reviews with a grain of salt.. but man o' man! This stuff is unbelievable. Felt it working within the first 20-30km's, by 100km's the car felt like someone had rolled back the calendar 10...

What about using the blocks vs the shackles?

What is ICE?

If you want something equivalently borderline reliable and be also Electric, maybe check out the LDV T60 Electric version.. at least it won't need a timing chain replaced :)

This happened to me on cars in the past, it could actually be your AC system itself, especially the compressor clutch switch.. This is when the system won't engage the compressor. Other cars I've had have a failsafe when the Unit has a leak and is out of gas it won't let the system engage. If...

1) Yes, ECU should definitely have power when the car is powered up, it's the brains of the car and controls almost everything, including getting a reading from the Crank angle sensor. When you get the reds on are you hearing any fuel pump action at all from anywhere? I'd be checking your...

@Old.Tony isn't the dash all controlled through the BCM? If so, @Tms40 probably just a once off glitch and I wouldn't worry about it too much in all honesty
