Friend told me last night that he has been rebuilding a Prado TD motor that had spun a bearing. When he started to investigate he found the mesh strainer on the oil pickup in the sump to be clogged. The owner had only serviced the Prado every 10,000 klms. His investigation revealed that this is a common issue with Prado's that are not serviced regularly enough. Don't know if it is a 1Kz motor or D4D however next oil change I will be pulling the sump off to clean the oil pick up. Mine is regularly changed at 5000 klms however it has done 225000klms so reckon this small job sounds like a very good idea. Anyone else heard of this issue?
