2 Ravs And Oil Px

[mickboy]

Have just recently traded our Celica in for a Rav 2L Xt3 3 door, its low mileage and is great to drive.Its now a companion for my 4d4 GX which is soon to be updated as it has now done 150000 miles and has cost a bit this year in spares.

The oil px light had been flashing on and off or would take a few seconds to go off when starting and then take a few seconds to come when engine switched off . Eventually found cause to be the gauze filter on the oil pick up pipe in the sump was blocked with carbon despite frequent oil changes. I had to renew 2 pistons, big end shells and the turbo.

Talking to people in the trade it is not so uncommon as you might think so dont stretch the mileage between oil changes and use an engine flush especially on diesels.

Keep on taking the tablets Mick
