1FZ-FE FUEL ECONOMY - MY EXPERIENCE

[@MS-ho9wq]

Here in Australia, I use Penrite 20W-60 every 3000-5000km in my 1FZ-FE. She loves it.

[@MasaiGainz]

We don’t get penrite here but that’s amazing! That’s quite a thick oil what sort of fuel economy is she giving h you?

[@vytas5584]

I had my trans oil replaced at 350,000km because it was malfunctioning. After that it was perfect, like a new car. I recommend it.

[@NKPGarage]

Great video! I have an 80 series 1FZ, 100 series v8, and a 200 series v8. The 200 series gets the worst gas mileage out of all of them. The 80 series actually does the best out of all 3. They are all great trucks. Thanks for a great video, and sharing your experience!

[@MasaiGainz]

Awesome!! I could agree with that actually, I’ve had the same experience comparing the 3 land cruiser generations in terms of fuel economy !

[@NKPGarage]

@@MasaiGainz I still love them all. Each one is amazing in their own unique way

[@MasaiGainz]

Agreed. Amazing that you have al three! Maybe one day will have that!

[@NKPGarage]

@@MasaiGainz I buy them, play with them, restore them, and sell them. It's fun to get into these old Land Cruisers.

[@RonaldChapman-jg5xu]

I love my 97, 80 series! Thanks mate.

[@jeffp5162]

I have an 80 with the 1FZ-FE. It is a thirsty engine I guess around 18 mpg on a long motorway run, around town it definitely half that. It’s difficult to give real costing due to fluctuating fuel prices in the U.K. I get around 350 miles to a full tank if used on the motorway at motorway speeds (70mph). 5/30 is the correct oil which does need to be changed regularly but fully synthetic. I use Castrol Magnatec which seems to be very good. I find changing the ignition timing from factory to around 9 degrees and tire pressures of 40psi definitely helps performance and economy. Oh, I had to replace both cats. I chose cheaper ones off eBay and coincidentally these made a huge difference to performance, definitely beneficial albeit a bit noisier. So, figures, well roughly timed 0-60mph of just under 10 seconds on flat road. Not bad for the type of vehicle, its abilities and 27 years old with only regular servicing. Oh, it’s my daily driver.

[@MasaiGainz]

Amazing mate! Seeing this comment abit late but great insights. And kudos to you for owning a legendary cruiser all the way in UK!

[@arseniosapatinha2030]

I still love that 80 series. Good work bro...

[@saeedbahaj5568]

my 2001 100 series (1FZ-Fe) gets 3.8 KPL city driving (careful driving) ,,, the ecu running in open loop mode as it does not have AFR sensor from factory (some GCC spec model does not have it installed from factory)

[@polacoevolution]

💯 agree , I have 4 1fz at home me my son and my wife 🙃 fzj 79 105x2 and 80 series always using 10w50 penrite full synthetic with P.T.F.E additive, the ute have 450k kms never been open and still going strong ,thanks for the video bro 👍

[@MasaiGainz]

Awesome!

[@auspilot6119]

I have a 1996 FZJ80, automatic. Average 16.5 to 17L/100km on 91 octane.

[@NKPGarage]

Great video with a lot of relevant details from real world experience!

[@l3ftyzy0]

I'm getting 28L/100ks, highway ks, need to try and configure .

[@MasaiGainz]

Definitely something wrong highway shoouod be 7km/L

[@l3ftyzy0]

@@MasaiGainz yeah mate that's why I'm here hahah I've just finished a trip of 2000ks and now hitting my head against a wall my 80 has only done 180kms, any ideas where I should start, I have just had a major service done spark plugs etc.

[@MasaiGainz]

@@l3ftyzy0 maf sensor, distributor service, Need a good independent mechanic to have a look at it mate

[@l3ftyzy0]

@@MasaiGainz thank you mate I shall look into it I appreciate your comments thank you again

[@Richardharrison11947]

I got 168 with a quarter tank 🥲 i used 10w30 ams oil. Any suggestions people? Motors rebuilt has 70K kms in it

[@TheKennedy4522]

Any 80 series was never made with frugality in perspective . Just keep it efficient and it runs great. i don't know how fast it is, have driven Gwagon, range rover p38 in Nairobi and they are fair not great.

[@24hrstolive27]

Is this engine reliable? Looking at a 1992 land cruiser with 78k miles on it and trying to figure out what to expect

[@MasaiGainz]

The 1FZFE is very dependable as long as it’s in good condition (not been butchered my sleezy mechanics). Strong engine with high torque and proper nice sound. Also pretty economical as gets better mileage than my 100 series v8 cruiser

[@PadmaDorjee]

I read the Toyota engineers designed this petrol engine to last 1 Million Klms to compete with the Nissan patrol so YES this engine is incredibly reliable.

[@PadmaDorjee]

Oh, and 78k is just run in 😂

[@gunnarmoeller8606]

See, just the way you look at it. I get happy when I get under 20l/100km and I drive my car mostly recreational, so fair enough.

[@kevinmaina3657]

Considering I’ve seen some Toyota Crowns doing a range of 7. That’s some decent number.

[@badermohammed449]

Plus swap your automatic with 5 speed manual and 225/95/16 Dunlop tires. you will see how torquey and power improvements plus more fuel efficiency you will get. My experience with j80 goes back to 28 years with extreme desert driving. Stick to this game plans plus oil change every 5000km then it is forever machine.

[@badermohammed449]

Try semi synthetic 20 50 krxxx the Korean oil company, you will be impressed on the power

[@ananthakrishnanh7363]

1:30 Its the first time I have seen a 20 litre reserve tank

[@anayatkhan8377]

Hi what mileage you get in this car

[@anayatkhan8377]

I have 100 series 2003 v6 land cruiser but i get very bad mileage 5km in 1litre

[@zemongoose123]

I have 100 series v8 4.7 litre I get 5.5 km per litre put a 2000kg trailer on back drops just under 5 km per litre so that’s about right what you get if you thought you were going to get 10km per litre not gonna happen in any petrol landcruiser we also have a hiace 3 litre diesel and that averages 13 litres per hundred landcruiser 18 to 20 litres per hundred not a massive difference really

[@dommonte3507]

105 series same engine has 390,000km, still going

[@MasaiGainz]

Awesome!

[@MrThrilbilly]

6 Kilometres per litre on the highway, 4 if towing anything in my 105 series.

[@carlmenzel8744]

Mine gets 21 per hundred not towing which convinced me to put FTE in it

[@amosnjonjo9237]

Hey am a big fan of your channel and am on the look out for an 80series, hook me up if you come across one for sale. Cheers n good job.
