Yes. Its the 1GR-FE engine.

Yeah here in SA we had the option of a 5 speed manual in the 3.0 turbo diesel or 4.0 V6 petrol. Also had a 4 speed auto in the 3.0 turbo diesel and 5 speed auto in the V6 petrol. I wish they also put the 5 speed auto in the 3.0 though. It sometimes just needs that extra gear especially when...

Think I will go for a 5w40 in A3/B4 spec in a reputable brand. Im eager to change soon but I serviced recently with 15w40 so dont want to waste the oil and money I spent.

Yes it is a Turbo. I will have a look at what A3/A4 I can get for a good price but the Fuchs looks like a good product. Will the 5w make a difference compared to the 15w? It will of course have a higher VI than the oil I am currently using and also flow better when it is cold. Any other...

No DPF. I usually change oil every 5000 miles.

It is Fuchs Supersyn Longlife 5w40. API SN / ACEA A3B4 The other one is Fuchs Titan GT1 Flex 23 5W30 API SN / ACEA C2/C3

There is another brand available, but I am unsure of the quality as it is new to the market and not that well known. It is called IndyOil ProTorq 5w30 which meets Ford WSS M2C 913B requirements which is close to A5/B5. It is going for $25 / 5l

Im leaning toward any 5w30 a5/b5 I can get for a good price for year round used. Dont know if it would make any difference though and if it would be worth the price.

Rimula 15w40 $18 / 5l Liqui Moly 5w30 A5/B5 $32 / 5l Fuchs 5w30 C2/C3 $22 / 5l Fuchs 5w40 A3/A4 $27 / 5l

Thats true. 10w30 is also what Toyota dealers service it here in South Africa. They sell their own oil but it is only CF4 rated and quite expensive.

First time poster. Long time lurker here. I own a 2013 Toyota Fortuner 3.0 Diesel 4x4 and live in South Africa. It currently has around 70000 km (+- 43400 miles) on the clock. I bought it second hand with 35000 km (+- 21700 miles) on the clock around a year ago and have been using Shell...
