Please keep the experts opinions coming. Thanks in advance
By the way I didn't experience overheating kasi I regularly fill up my radiator especially on long trips.

Napalitan na ba un oil cooler? Yan usually ang bumibigay sa 4ja1 engines. Kapapalit din lang namin sa hilander namin. Sa jayson ka bumili, bilhin mo un japan made, 2 kasi un pwede, 1 thailand at japan. Ang kamukha talaga nun nasa engine mo e un thailand pero pasok din un japan made. Mas mura pati un japan made

If his analysis was correct, His workmanship is poor. Sorry...

I would concur with the consensus of our fellow "Hi-Lander's" that the oil cooler is the culprit. It's the base where you mount the oil filter and also where oil and water run through a channel closely. any leak from either will produce the symptom your experiencing... oil and water mixing in the radiator..

I don't know what you mean if it burns oil, but the thing is that my engine oil is mixing with the water in the radiator which means my engine oil is decreasing. Pinakita sakin ng mechanic ung cylinder gasket with some brown marks saying that there is already a slight amount of water present in the engine thus, the top-overhaul. There was once that I noticed that the temperature gauge came past the mid-level which I don't usually experience. Is that considered an overheat? Thanks for your comment at least I can compare your comments against the diagnosis of the mechanic.

Antonio rivera st., sa likod ng tutuban center. Kapag walang stock sa isuzu plant dun kumukuha mga taga casa. Di ko na gano matandaan kung magkano pero mga araound 5K or less than un japan made, 8K o 9k un thailand. After mo mapalitan kailangan mo uli idrain un engine oil mo at ipaflush mo ulit un radiator.

Loss in power and nag babawas ng langis accompanied by white smoke sa tambutso ang main reasons to top overhaul ng engine, check your engine oil if nabawasan pa din slightly...

Sir kkreuk18 bakit parang mas mahal yung thailand kesa sa japan? yung japan ba kinabit mo sa dati mong pick-up? hehehe

Di naman ako nagpalit dun sa pickup ko, yun sa tita ko na Hilander ang pinalitan ang oil cooler. Medyo nagulat nga kami ni erpat kasi nga mas mahal pa un thailand. Mas malaki kasi un thailand kesa dun sa japan.

**weisshorn** · March 6th, 2011 08:36 AM

Yes mas mahal nga yung hindi thailand. Ganyan din halos ang price noong nagpalit ako sa highlander.

*ronball: Palitan mo na yang oil cooler. Wag ka na maniwala dyan sa mekaniko na tira lang ang langis. naoverhaul na ang makina kaya totally drained ang renewed na ang tubig sa makina dapat hindi na maghalo ang langis sa tubig. Lalaki lang ang gasto mo kung sundin mo ang iba pang sasabihin ng mekaniko. Available dito sa las pinas yang oil cooler, isang store ay dyan ayon sa PM ko sa yo.
