What is the typical engine oil consumption for the 4JB1-T diesel engined Trooper at motorway cruising speeds? Do people find it is noticeably more than in non-motorway driving? Thanks.

I haven't noticed any exceptional oil consumption on my 120000miles J reg Trooper. However the oil pressure when warm seems very low ( less than 12psi but normal when cold) apart from the usual valve seals, could oil be leaking from the Turbo. Not letting the engine idle for a couple of minutes after a brisk run along a motorway can lead to early failiur of the Turbo oil seals. Sorry not a great answer but again my Trooper hardly uses a drop of oil. not bad for an old girl. regards Keith
Well be glad you don't have a Trooper with Isuzu's 4JX1 diesel: Because of leaky injectors /injector seals I get the oil sump filling with diesel. Quite exciting driving, not knowing when its going to sieze the engine or become unstoppable!
