lol.....d3....means u were driving in third gear all the while.....wth dude....lol...

full tanks lasts about 2 weeks....obviously depends on the distance but on average 2 weeks is legit....

also since you are new to diesel and fulling at pumps...be careful not to fill kerosense instead as both are at the same pump.......reading in other threads how ppl full kerosene instead of diesel...lol...

did your van come with the dvd player as well?......

I think you should get a GPS installed asap rather than a timer.......

Company told me timer isnt really needed but if you do long runs at high speeds well go for it....

I thought it was difficult but realise it is a very easy DIY....also pull down your driver side sun visor and you would see all the instructions right there as well....

Amsoil cetane boost is helpful
Please take time to read your manual
Beware the Bridgestone tyres if that's what you got. If you don't have a turbo timer...Let the vehicle idle for at least a minute after spirited driving. ..
A diesel has glow plugs. . Changing it doesn't improve performance
Take it kinda easy for at least the first 1000kms

Kamakazi gives good advice

I have my 3.0 since 2011...100,000km..serviced for 1.5years at firm till I had the transmission service....did that outside.

I told a coworker if u getting a bigger vehicle expect the maintenance to be more more.. regular service and tires etc

those bridgestone tyres are great on dry roads .... be careful on the wet roads ...like walking on banana peels.... i replaced them with Kumho's thus far got 57,000km on them may get another 5-7000km

if you use regular oil ...change 5000km with all the filters air , oil, fuel

if u use synthetic... amsoil, mobil 1 etc ... like i do ...go 9000-10000km replace all filters

i use to give toyota firm my oil to change (amsoil) till the big service ....of the transmission

use amsoil transmission oil ... 30000km change intervals

enjoy... remember driving a pickup different from driving a car.. .

True driving these are very different than a car....have learnt to slow down a lot and drive for others around ...especially those low riders who think sticking below my bumper is cool.....where they can't even be seen at times.....

X1000000 on those Bridgestones. They will turn on you as soon as rain starts. Dunlop pt2s are good replacements.

given how bad those tires are, should one just reduce speed dramatically to below 60km once road is wet ?

yes water on the road may not be as bad as a light drizzle which makes the road slippery
just drive at a resonable speed where u can control the van

Guys, does anyone know what the service manual says for changing the tranny fluid on 2014 Hilux using OEM Toyota fluid? Very informative thread but I was hoping this answer would be in here. I'm using Shell R6 synthetic in the engine but the tranny oil was not changed since it was purchased from new. My dealership recommended 60,000 km which I think is too high.

Edit: Found info in de tech thread, about 40,000km
