Do you have the passenger side second row step in brown. 83616 zip

Do you have the mileage and compression numbers?

Looking for a motor for a ‘97 FJ80. The closer to Idaho the better.

Update - I have replaced the oil with Shell Rotella 15-40 and a Purolator Boss filter. In the 1100 miles since the oil change I have needed to add 2 quarts to keep the level in the safe zone. Yesterday I took it to a Toyota dealer and had them do a leak down test. It is indeed leaking past the...

Everywhere I look for Shell Rotella 15w-40 it is described as "heavy duty diesel engine oil". Is this the stuff or is there a gas engine version I need to find?

I knew it had been burning oil so I started checking the level within the first 100 miles. It was registering in the middle of the crosshatched safe area initially and slowly started going lower and lower. I think the proper amount was put in to begin with.

Does the PSI figure represent cylinder compression? If so, I see your point about the numbers not adding up. I'm going to call the shop and have them explain it.

The receipt shows 7.8 qts

It runs fine. No noticeable smoke. It is my sons car. He drives it daily about 10-15 miles.. It currently has 5W-30 in it, Valvoline I think. The shop replaced the oil 1100 miles ago. This is a local shop. Would you recommend I take it to the Toyota dealer nearest me to diagnose where the oil is...

We bought the car about 4 months ago. The seller said "it's an old car, it burns a little oil." We already changed the PCV valve hoping to minimize the consumption. It hasn't changed. It is parked in my garage and doesn't leak any oil. In the last 1,000 miles I have added 2 quarts to keep oil on...

They did a leak down test and measured where the pressure was escaping. Mechanic said it was leaking around the piston rings and provided me these measurements. Cylinder 1 - 165 PSI - 23% leak down Cylinder 2 - 160 PSI - 20% leak down Cylinder 3 - 165 PSI - 47% leak down Cylinder 4 - 180 PSI -...

Hi, Brand new to the forum, first post. I have a '97 Collector's Edition Land Cruiser. It is consuming some serious oil. I had a leak down test done on the cylinders. The results stated "compression is leaking through the piston rings." I would like some advice. Should I rebuild this 1FZ-FE...
