YOUTUBE VIDEO: "Toyota Engine Oil Sludge: Another Dangerous Defect?"

[ghosthunter]

Who paid the engine work? Insurance? Warranty?

[meledson]

out of our pockets.

2001 ZZ. so warranty

hindi naman na aksidente, so not insurance.

our 2002 3ZZFE has the same problem:







it was casa maintaing by the first owner. starting from the 10,000 Km pms, used fully synthetic oil. pms schedule was followed. We got it last 2007 with almost 80,000Km on the Odometer. I used RP and had the oil changed at every 10,000Km.

With my wife traveling at SLEX at around 100 kph the engine stopped, good thing she was able to coast from the overtaking lane to the shoulder. Now the engine is at a machine shop for repair. BTW, the odo now is at around 120,000 km

Ang advise sa aking ng mga mechaniko na nakausap ko. do not use synthetic oils, use quality mineral oils (from any of the big three) and change the oil before 5,000km. Sabi nila ang may sala ay ang synthetic oil. Do not use oils daw with teflon.

matanong ko lang; as per story nakuha nyo ang car 2nd hand and you are using RP oil; di ba ito ay magandang oil at mamahalin bakit nagkaganito? di ba na detect tuwing mag change oil kayo na nagkakaroon na ng sludge build up kasi dinaman biglaan ito magaacumulate ito unti unti at baka maaaring makita ito during oil change sa na drain na oil.

^^^ i think nagsimulang mag form ang sludge while being casa maintained. kasi ng nabili namin, dahan dahan nagbabawas ng oil. wala naman usok nor leak. habag tumatagal, dumarami ang nagiging kulang/dinadagdag ko.

kung gumamit ako ng flush before change oil, possible na naminimize ang problem.

ng ako na ang nag maintain, hindi na ako nagpapalit ng oil filter every 5,000 Km.

now gamit ko ay semi-synthetic na good for 7,000 km. pero change oil ako every 5,000 km.

yun ng ang iniisip ko maaaring noong casa maintained pa lang ito; pero nag tuloy tuloy pa rin kahit RP pa rin ang gamit mo; at di ba kung maganda ang oil na ito dapat nalinis niya unti unti ito dahil merong mga detergents addities ang mga oil na ito, kung baga di na tumuloy tuloy ba ang sludge problem mo, kung baga maintained na lang or mabawasan unti unti, parang lumalabas kahit anong oil ang gamit mo di niya ma peprevent ang sludge

[raine]

meledson, bro baka naman di RP ang gamit mo, kasi dito sabi mo magnatec ang gamit mo, http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...t=67505&page=4 sep 2010 post mo

before, he was using RP, then switch to magnatec. its cheaper

[meledson]

ng sa shaw sa pasig ako nag work, kay speedyfix ako nag change oil at pms ng ZZ.

now laguna based na ako.

[desert fox]

proper viscosity of the engine oil.

reliable oil filter

at interval ng oil change.

yan 3 mahalaga yan.

[raine]

gaano katagal bago ka mag palit ng oil filter? or napalitan mo ba ito?
