  • Oils?

    Hi all,

    Any suggestions as to which oil I'd best use for my 6 gear manual 2011 Toyota Landcruiser Prado GX KDJ150R?

    I've only just bought it and had it serviced yesterday, the mechanic has used Penrite HPR Diesel 15 15W-50 but I'm trying to work out if this is a good oil to use in this hot humid climate of Darwin.

    Whilst trying to research I found that the Penrite web site also talks about manual transmission oil PRO GEAR 75W-85 (Full Syn.), should I be replacing this too and where hell does this go?

    Apart from replacing the filters and topping up fluids, any other suggestions as to what I should be doing to this vehicle, it has done 62000 Kms.

    Sorry I sound a bit vague but that's why I'd thought I'd ask you lot, the experts and thanks in advance.

    Are we talking engine oil or gearbox oil? The 15w40 is fine for the engine, the 75w85 is for the gearbox and transfer case.

    At that milage, as long as the servicing has been done correctly all is good, I wouldn't recommend any further maintenance

      Thanks for your reply Andy so would it be wise for me to replace the gearbox oil now?

        Your call really, if you are unsure of it go for it, but if you are happy with how it shifts, it isn't dirty or moisture contaminated leave it alone
