Hi Folks,
I have a 1988 BJ75 with 3b with 70,000km. I just changed the oil and oil filter, using a Toyota OE oil filter and Rotella 5W/40 synthetic.
Before the oil change, I could go outside when the truck had sat overnight, glow the plugs and the truck would start quickly without smoke. Now, when I start the truck cold, I glow the plugs, and I turn the key, it starts to idle, then shuts off. I have to blip the throttle for it to start, and it creates a little cloud of smoke.
It did this smoking and sort-of-tougher-to-start behavior in the spring and winter when it was cooler. I don't know what the oil viscosity/weight was before. Is this behavior normal? What could I check out so that I can get in the truck and start it without nursing the throttle?
Cheers,
Reinhardtius
Here is my oil filter thread: Smaller oil filter for 3B? Is that right?
Here is my oil thread: Oil for 70,000km 3B Engine
And attached is a photo of the truck
