Hi.
greetings from Pakistan.
I have 97 TZ Prado, which has 190000 kms on odometer. I change the oil and oil filter regularly at 1500-2000 kms to avoid major engine breakdown problem. I live in a dry hot tropical region so I use Castrol GTX 20W-50 mineral oil.
My vehicle is consuming excessive oil now a days and a clear smoke can be seen from engine oil cap too. The mechanic said the engine needs overhaul but I am not satisfied with his tech abilities and no other mechanic nearby yet. I take care my vehicle and regularly change the oil so the rings or piston should not be a problem at all.
Can any guru here suggest an engine overhaul too or anyone else faced such problem in fast and what measurement he/she took for this problem?
thanks in advance for your suggestions/opinions.
Regards
