Toyota Prado 4.0 v6 4x4 Basic Service

[@Chris-74]

On the V6 Prado, BEFORE taking the oil filter off, look under the lip around the oil filter , have a look underneath and you will see a cast like Nozzle/Tube there... Attach a piece of Clear plastic tubing ( Like Fish tank air tube) to the nozzle and that is the drain tube... Place tube exit into a glass jar and NO Mess... Youre Welcome !

Hi Gary, great video as always! I actually wait for your videos weekly. have you ever used prolong engine oil treatment? If so, how do you recommend to use it? I change my oil in my yaris every 5000km, wanted to try that prolong.

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Hi Kreesen, thanks for supporting my channel with your visits, yes I use Prolong in all my vehicles, the only disadvantage is that you cannot flush the engine for at least the next 3 services as Prolong is good for around 60 to 80 thousand kilometres, but I replace the Prolong with every 15000-kilometre service anyway, My Triton has 430 000 kilometres with no problem always been using Prolong. It attaches to all the metal surfaces and forms a protective layer against premature wear and failure. In your case put 300ml in the existing oil and continue your 5000-kilometre services, the Prolong will give you that added protection. Once again thanks for your support

Hi, what should be the idle speed on a 2013 1.4 polo vivo blueline?

Hi Fabian, excuse my ignorance what is meant by the term "Blueline", Redlining on the other hand I know about.
