    But the sump is nine litres, including the filter. I've missed the joke or something

    The 6 Cylinder 220 LCV (Doosan Excavator) engine I helped put back together last week had a sump capacity of 25l

    May I suggest that the Japanese just aren't very good at making turbo diesels? There's been problems with the 3L Nissan turbo diesel and also this one. Most of the Japanese turbo diesels have lower torque compared to the same size European engines and you just don't hear of problems well not big problems with turbo diesels from BMW, Mercedes, VW, Peugeot etc.

    Should have gone to oil analysis and only changed oil when they told you to. Change filters as normal. I used this service from Detroit Engine when I had four 8V92TA's on the road.

    I would be very careful making such a broad statement as that!

    The latest one has 441Nm from a 3.2L. To put it in perspective the new LR D4 will have 600Nm from 3.0L. 500Nm of that just above idle. Even my FL2 has 400Nm from a 2.2L. So they need another 1.0L to make 41Nm.

    The D4D Toyota engine in the Cruiser has 650Nm from 4.5L and 8 cylinders, so why can't they get the torque that the Europeans can? It takes them 1.5L and 2 more cylinders to make an extra 50Nm, seems quite inefficient especially since they seem to be self destructing.

    I can confirm that v8 uses oil I heard of v8 using sump full in 500km, there is a modification out, piston ring problems apparently and they do not "run in" and end up with glazed bores, you have to scream to get is fixed (heard from toyota mechanic in wellington)
    Also big problems if you get water in the diesel(typical from a farmers tank!!), fuel filter system are not up to it and engines may need entire fuel system replaced from the tank forward to the engine rail up to $40000(at present for everything including 8 injectors etc!!!), NOT A WARRANTY PROBLEM according to Toyota NZ, hi luxes (latest) are doing this also but cheaper $18000 only. Heard if 3 in canterbury and toyota tech guy admited he knew of at least NINE more!!!, people trying to get help from toyota to fit extra fuel filters in the fuel system but they are not interested!!!
    So landrovers are not the only ones with problems!!!
