  1. Many thanks for taking the time Mr NG, I have read most of the 620 pages of the owners manual. I noted the viscosity range recommended. It does NOT recommend brands (as you would expect). To clarify further I was hoping someone may have had experience with particular "Brands", you know semi synthetic VS full synthetic and are there any brands better than others? Sorry I didn't explain that better, I will go back to researching myself.
  2. GDay, I have just bought a GXL Landcruiser 2014 January build, and paid 80.5 K. Picked up the vehicle on Feb 26th 2014, I did not add any Toyota accessories. Took a lot of shopping around and a lot of negoiations via 3 yards before I won that price. Did that over 4 months and it was worth the wait. Now half way through tricking it up to where my previous 4WD was. Anyway I think the 80.5K I paid was money well spent. Shop around is my advice, I finished up purchasing from a regional dealership 105 k's from where I live and there are at least 9 closer Toyota dealerships. Cheers Another NUBIE
  3. Hello all, I am a new owner of 2014 Landcruiser Diesel, never owned a diesel before and we travel Australia extensively towing a 3 ton caravan. My question is simple, what grade/brand of engine oil is best suited to my V8 TT Diesel engine? I want to do 5000K filter and oil changes and will not always be able to get to a Toyota Dealership and therefore will carry my own oil/parts to guarantee I do NOT void my warranty. I have done a lot of research and am told I should be using a 5w40 diesel recommended oil i.e Castrol Edge 5W40 or Castrol Magnetic 5W40 diesel Oil. I have also looked at Penrite and other brands. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation Cheers Ross
