One of our customers came in recently with a Hilux sitting around 11–12 litres per 100km.
Not terrible. But not right either.
After we went through it — diagnostics, tuning, sorting the DPF system — he’s now sitting around 9.5.
Doesn’t sound like much on paper. But do the maths.
At $3.50 a litre, that 2L per 100km saving adds up to roughly $30-$40 a week for someone doing average kms. Over a year? That’s north of $2,000 back in your pocket.
Here’s something most people don’t know: Toyota extended the warranty on the DPF system for affected models to 10 years, unlimited kilometres. That covers the fifth injector, the housing, and related components.
So if your vehicle was built between October 2015 and April 2020, you might still be covered. Worth checking before you spend a cent.
One quick tip: Look at your fifth injector housing. If it’s marked with a ‘D’ or ‘Z’, it’s the updated design. No marking? That’s the original — and that’s the one that causes problems.
Come in and we’ll check it for you. No charge for a look.
