Brand new 1996 review of the 90 with the chief engineer Mr Takeo Kondo

Would you recommend T6 or T4 15w40 for 1kzte AZ driving?

Hi all, With the Prado 90 manual I know they recommend 15w40 but could you run Shell Rotella T6 full synthetic t6 Rotella 15w40 instead or stick with T4 15w40? Cheers, Finn

Hi Aero, The Dobbinson kit is good because it has a option for a diesel rig with the right springs. Its quite pricy at around 2k for the full kit.

No i have 1kz te intercooled
