  • Oil in the Intercooler Pipes

    Hi everyone,

    I have a Diesel KZJ120 Prado 2003. It has almost 250,000 KM of use. I have been driving for at least 2 years with the pipe that go in and out (to the manifold) the intercooler covered in oil. Specifically where they joint with another part. Some years ago a mechanic told me that my Prado was losing "compression" and needed new piston rings and other internal parts, i do not know if it is related. Anyways, i am not an expert but as a general rule i think that an engine without oil dripping from its parts is a healthy engine. I've read in the web that these parts use some oil, but should be such that the oil goes out of the pipes? Please advice.

    cant comment on your engine compression but look into installing a provent 200 catch can. This should help reduce the oil in the intake.

    Lots of diesel owners install a catch can, even if their car is new out the shop

      Thank you Red Hilux, never heard of catch cans until your comment. After researching a little bit in the web i find it surprising that manufacturers do not include them in the turbo diesel vehicules. I will give it a try and let you know how it goes. I would also like to know what is causing it. any hints on that will be welcome.

        You can also instal an EGR blocking plate ( google it) - it does not affect any of the electronics on the kz -1te - i've done and also soon to fit a catch can .
