2016 Toyota Fortuner

Guess it's true you learn something new everyday. Re: Euro 4 imho it's still good practice to run the engine hard in the open road regularly if you don't want to blank it. Our GS is Euro 4 and still had the EGR clogged when it was exclusively used in Metro Manila traffic.

Sana...

If only traffic didn't exist here that much, then there would be a lesser chance of clogging the egr.

Why sir on egr blanking?

An oil catch can or air-oil separator would be better for keeping the engine clean. I'm not sure on the new engines but I recall the older KD engines with the Variable Nozzle turbo using the EGR to dump excess boost since the VN turbo did not have a wastegate.

Makatulong pala pa minsan2x atleast patakbuhin ng mabilis? Usually kasi pag city, di tlga lalagpas 2,500 rpm. Nasa 2,000 lang kasi shifting point ng ECO mode ng Fort eh. Will practice running hard sometimes pag long distance.

Variable nozzle or vgt dont have wastegate..turbines will adjust to compensate for excess boost

May difference ba sa hatak between eco atsaka normal mode? Or yung normal mode, pwede biglaan mag accelerate unlike sa eco na talagang steady slow acceleration?

Yes - may difference.

Eco - shifts up quickly with minimal revs.
Normal - longer revs per gear for better acceleration.

Ahhh yun pala. Kala ko kasi almost the same lang sila, though di ko pa nasubukan hatakin ng mabilis ang normal mode. Try ko this sunday long drive, city driving kasi whole week sa sunday lang pwede long drive eh. Hehe. Salamat sir ssaloon!

Yup, that's the challenge. Hardly any roads where you can open up the throttle anymore.
