Even Mobile 1 in 5w will be perfect for the engine. Stick with a 30 weight. The only fact to consider is: 5w gives a much better cold start-up protection in all conditions. Better protection than a 10w. If you live in an area that experiences sub-zero temperatures, then a 0w might be a better option for those harsher conditions.
Since they have been discontinued in the USA in and the global market in , many are starting to rack up high mileage now, a few years down the line. The Cruiser was first launched in and since then many have boasted online with trouble-free mileage in excess of K, K, and K miles. Some are even hoping to push to the 1 million mark. A cruiser can last as long as you want it to. They are not indestructible and there are smaller components and rubbers that will begin to perish over time.
This is caused by all the contaminants in the environment as well and the heat cycles from the engine slowly breaking down the rubber compound. In time you might even need to replace the alternator, starter, and water pump. These are wear-and-tear components that have a limited lifespan no matter how well you look after them. I would have no problem buying a high mileage FJ, obviously depending on the previous owner and how well it was taken care of.
Look after your FJ and it will definitely look after you! Here we strive to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, information about the functionality, common faults and latest technology built into most 4 Wheel Drives.
Skip to content So you want to buy a used FJ with high mileage? Table of Contents. Big tire upgrades are the most effective way of increasing ground clearance. I found 8 hi milage FJ cruisers, over , miles, and a few over , miles. Is it a leap of faith, purchasing used at k miles?
They are discontinued and have a cult-like following, so that's why people are asking and getting those prices. Yep quite a different experience buying cars with insanely high resale value.
I bought a rare Subaru, drove it for 2 years and sold it for a profit. A vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I had multiple offers. An M-B G-Wagen is a good choice in that price range as well. Like the Land Cruisers, G-Wagens run forever. The only thing that kills either one is rust. Originally Posted by Stonepa. Just get the real thing, though the 4-Runner has an enviable resale value it is at least based on reality.
And you get the much better rear visibility and accessibility to the rear seat than the FJ Cruiser. Even salvaged trash is commanding money a few years ago was unheard of. Granted theire sitting not selling but people are retarded in their thinking. I would think long and hard before buying a , mile car.
Mark talks about his FJ as if it were a loyal and valued member of his family. You can normally tell how a vehicle has been maintained by how its owner talks about it. Mark clearly has kept his Toyota FJ in great mechanical condition. She runs like a top. I service her every 5, miles. I do my differentials and transfer cases once a year. I do my transmission every , miles. And I get my radiator done once a year regardless of the mileage.
First appearances are everything. I was drawn to the aluminum contraption surrounding this FJ Cruiser at once and had to learn more. In addition to the Baja rack, which is a full length rack, if I want to put a full camper shell on it. Yes this engineering marvel was designed and built by Mark himself, providing him with the resources he needs for each specific expedition he undertakes on a pretty continuous basis.
It can handle shells, luggage of all shapes and sizes, canoes and kayaks like a champ. I have been a huge fan of the Toyota FJ Cruiser for well over a decade and seen many different ways to modify and customize them.
