aparo: I cant say more for the early Nissan murano... but the major mistake people made with murano is the Gear oil. People use regular oil for it and kill the car. When you use a Murano designed oil I doubt there will be much issues or any. |

eduwando: I beg to disagree... kazim the mechanic has tampered with it. Drove 05 and now 010 no issues I can't even remember when last it visited a mechanic in 2years.. apart from oil change and the air bag light that came up and was fixed with a scanner. |

From my experience the reason we have sludge build up in engines is because of using the wrong engine oil and waiting too long before changing engine oils. There are other engines u didn't mention like the Tsi and fsi engines used on vw and audi products starting from 2006 these engines have a short life and are notorious for sludge build up and failing. Engine used on the landrover discovery and freelander just to mention but a few. I think aluminium engines are problem prone, especially when you open them. |

eduwando: MOBIL 1 is 5w30 Guage and it is synthetic not mineral based. It can withstand higher engine temperatures without breaking down its molecular structure or losing lubricating properties. Mobil 1 is what is best for any petrol 4/6/8 cylinder sedans. you can change your oil to Mobil 1 if you have been using something else before. Just pray the previous mineral-based oil has not caused wear and tear of your engine or else MOBIL 1 would leak out through your seals and any tiny gaps, and you would have oil leaks. Mobil 1 even helps to clean you engine, and regular use would help remove sludge and prevent further sludging of your engine. Na water go dey commot for your tail pipe. Thank me later 4 Likes |

diportivo: Very True my bro. there are two models of 1MZ-FE, both are 3.0L V6 The early ones without VVT-I found is 1998-2000 Sienna, 1997-2003 Camry V6. The ones with VVT-I are found on 2002-2003 Lexus ES300, 2001-2003 Highlander, 2001-2003 Sienna, and 2000-2004 Avalon. someone said 3MZ-FE is 3.0L found on Lexus RX300. that's not true. 3MZ-FE is a 3.3L V6 engine with VVT-I found on 2004-2006 RX330,2004-2010 Sienna, 2004-2006 ES330, 2004-2007 Highlander and some 2005-2006 Camry V6. also the old 4runner I think has a 3.6L V6 engine not 3.5L V6. The most common 3.5L V6 engine Toyota have is 2GR-FE which was used in 2007-2016 Camry V6,2005-2016 Avalon, All models of RX350, ES350, 2011-2016 Sienna and 2008-2016 Highlander V6 5 Likes |

Interesting read. I had to pack up my VW Passat 30V V6. I was almost going mad with it. Each time I travel with it with my family anxiety almost consumes me until I get home. The entire engine and electrical works in that model is problematic. This thread is good to warn potential car buyers. Plus, minus, I think Toyota cars are still better with our roads and economy. |
