Hi,
I've recently serviced myself my recently bought 2003 4.0L Prado. This engine takes 5.2L of oil. I got really surprised when I've ended up with a bit less than 8L of oil in my drain pan. It's really a lot more than I expected.
The oil was black but except for that I haven't noticed anything special.
Should I be concerned by this? Did the previous owner put too much oil? Did the oil get mixed with something else like fuel or did water accumulate in there? There isn't any mayo under the engine oil cap so I doubt it got mixed with water.
