Hi All
Just got a new Prado GXL (D4D) two weeks back . So far happy with it and just need to get used to owning a diesel car. Had many rides previously but all was petrol, including an AWD SUV prior to this.
Apart from driving the company diesel cars at site, not much experience with diesel cars.
Toyota manual wrote that it needs to warm down (20 sec to 2 min) after each ride, is that critical?
I drive to work (10km each way), do the weekend run to the city (35km away). Is that sufficient to "burn off" that particulate.
Saw the 4x4 shows and " the expert" says that exhaust should be clean(?). For mine, it is black when I ran my hand in it. Hmm?
Any other tips or suggestion in terms of good driving habits on the D4D is appreciated.
Thanks
