Hey guys,
Just picked up a 1996 Hilux with the 3L naturally aspirated diesel engine.
No owners manuals and not a lot of history with it.
The previous owner doesn’t remember what type of oil he used but he thinks it was 15W-40. From most of online digging, it seems the 3L is supposed to have 10W-40.
So two questions:
1) Does anyone know for sure what type of engine oil 96 Hilux 3L is supposed to have?
2) If it is 10W-40 and I currently have 15W-40 in the engine, will going from the former to the latter be bad for the engine?
Thanks for any help in advance.
